“This is my third Pilot metropolitan (F nib), I had some issues with the nib ink feed of the first couple. One the ink wouldn’t flow and the other had the complete opposite problem. However, I really like the metal body and weight of this pen, and the fact that you can post the lid. It’s a really quality-feeling pen, and is really affordable. So was happy to take my chances on purchasing a 3rd. So far so good, and I’m really happy with it. Inked with an Iroshizuku ink”
“This pen has a classy look, being the gold it is. In a meeting room, people will take notice and ask you what the pen is. The nib is very fine. If you are writing with lower quality paper or just love a thin line, then this is the pen for you. If you like the Safari fine, then go for this one in the medium. I would probably go for the medium next time. Other than that, everything about it is great. the colour. size. weight. Can't go wrong with this one. It's become a classic so quickly for a good reason.”
“I bought this pen recently and I really like it! Firstly, it looks really nice - I think it looks more expensive than it is. The gold finish has a lovely matt look. The pen has a good weight to it and balances well in the hand, with or without the cap on the end. I prefer a fine tip and this one is good, similar line weight to the Lamy fine nib. At first, it took a while to get the ink flowing (using the provided cartridge) and I thought it was a bit scratchy, but I'm not noticing that anymore. Comes in a nice case with one ink cartridge and an ink converter cartridge. I am very happy with this purchase!”
