Unique retractable rollerball design. Retractable rollerball pens are still quite rare, especially premium quality items. The Lamy swift is a smart all-metal design. The pocket clip retracts into the barrel when the top button is pressed to extend the writing tip - this ensures that the pen cannot be clipped into a pocket and leak unless the tip is retracted again. A roll-stop projection prevents the pen rolling away when the clip is retracted. Designed by Wolfgang Fabian.
