Title: The ideal pen for beginner fountain pen users
Review: I'm fairly new to the world of fountain pens. I own starter pens from Kaweco, Pelikan, Lamy, Platinum, and other companies, and for the dollar value, I've found the Pilot Metropolitan to be the best deal out there for any fountain pen aficionado.One of the first things you'll notice is the build quality of this pen. I own the Classic Design silver Metropolitan and it is a beautiful pen. The body is made of brass with a coated brushed silver finish, so the pen has some heft to it and the stainless steel accents and clip give it a premium look and feel. I've received compliments on this pen and I've had a couple people think this is a much more expensive writing instrument than it really is. The body is smooth and round, so if you remove the cap and leave the body sitting on a desk, it will roll. However, the cap, which snaps on with a nice *click*, has a clip, which prevents it from rolling if you have it capped or posted.Then, I also like how the Metropolitan comes with an ink cartridge AND an ink converter for people who want to use their own ink. I can't think of many (any?) pens in this price range with an included converter. I'm not a fan of the bladder-type converter (I prefer the Z24 piston converter on my Lamy Safari), but it works and that it even comes with one is great! I've just been using the Pilot Namiki IC100 Fountain Pen Ink Cartridge, Blue/Black, 12 Cartridges per Pack (69102).Moving onto the real reason anyone would buy a fountain pen--the writing experience. Because of the pen's heft, the Metropolitan is wonderful to write with--posted (cap on back of pen) or unposted. I write with it unposted, as I fear the metal-on-metal will leave a scratch around the barrel of the body, but the few times I've written with the cap posted, it's felt nicely balanced, unlike my Lamy Safari, which feels uneven if posted.The nib is a Japanese Medium which I've found to be equivalent to the Fine nib on my Kaweco Sport Classic. It's a stainless steel nib, so it has little-to-no flex, but is an average writer (in terms of ink flow) with very little scratchiness and it wrote well right out of the box with no skipping. What's great about the Metropolitan, though, is that the nib also interchangeable with the Pilot Penmanship Fountain Pen with Ergo Grip - Extra Fine Nib - Black Body, which I bought from a third-party site for less than $10 and I now have a Metropolitan with an Extra-Fine nib that writes very smoothly!Now, I'm sure a few people read these reviews to see how this compares to other pens in this price range, and I can say that it's sort of in a class of its own. The Platinum Preppies are practically disposables that cost less than half the Metropolitan and the Kaweco Sport Classics and Lamy Safaris are at least $10 more. Still, for those who must know, I think the Metropolitans write about as well as the Preppy (but with a much nicer body, build, and finish), better than the Kaweco Sports, but not as well as the Safari. My favorite pen is the Safari, but I can't say that I feel it's worth $10-15 more, especially without a converter, which makes the Metropolitan a fine deal indeed!From its fit and finish to the little touches (swappable nibs, included converter) and how smoothly it writes, I couldn't be happier with the Pilot Metropolitan--it's a pen that definitely punches well above its weight. Most fountain pen users own several writing instruments and I highly recommend this as an addition to anyone who wants a fantastic everyday pen. Now if only they'd make

Title: Classy Beginner Fountain Pen!
Review: Ok, so first off, I know next-to-nothing about fountain pens, but I did a search on how they work and found that this one is a good "entry level" fountain pen. It looks and feels super classy, too! It comes with a converter and one ink cartridge, so you technically have everything you need to get started using it right away - but do read the instructions!Changing out the converter to the ink cartridge is a breeze, and then your pen is ready to use! A few things I've noted and learned in using it:* The medium nib is larger than I expected. (I bought a second one with a "fine" nib, and that seems closer to medium ball point pens that I normally use.) If you have smaller handwriting, you may want to size down to a fine or even smaller nib point.* The pen weight and feel is nothing short of awesome. The weight is perfect, and writing is utterly effortless. It's metal, too, so if you're looking to cut back on plastics, this is a great option. (There is plastic in the internal mechanism and in the replacement cartridges, though. You can reduce that buy buying ink in glass bottles and using the refillable converter.)* Some reviewers said that the included squeeze-type converter is harder to use, so I bought a secondary piston-style converter separately, as I want to be able to refill it (and don't trust myself not to get ink *everywhere* with the squeeze converter!).* The ink that comes with it is pretty great. It flows easily and is dark black - but it does smudge easily until it dries, and it is not waterproof, so using a highlighter over it will make the ink bleed (and ruin the tip of your liquid highlighter). There are waterproof inks out there that can be used with the converter, which is what I plan to do in the future. If you like the ink that comes with it, you can buy more on Amazon.* Fountain pens are meant to be stored ideally with the nib side up - never down! On their side is okay, but supposedly not the best method. To carry my pen with me, I got an elastic pen case that goes around my journal, and I just make sure the tips are up when I put them in my bag. I wouldn't recommend tossing these separately into a pocket or purse, but any container that's mostly liquid-proof will do the job of preventing stains in the event of an accidental spill / leak.* The ink flows beautifully, almost by magic! Writing is therefore just a tiny bit different because there is no "drag" like with ball point pens or felt point pens. (If you don't like the ink that comes with it, you can use the converter to use your preferred fountain pen ink!) Everything I write seems just *that* much more special while using my fountain pen - and it makes writing in cursive feel like signing the Declaration of Independence!* This is a fountain pen, so guess what? Sometimes ink gets on stuff - your hands, places on the paper you didn't intend, your table... When I use my pen now, I take care to wipe it, and to check my hands before touching anything else. It hasn't dripped at all for me, but when the ink gets on a part of the nib that I then accidentally touch, it's easy to transfer.* I haven't had the pen long enough to have learned these things, but apparently you need to clean the pen every so often, take out the ink cartridge if it won't be in use for a while, and take extra precautions if you want to bring it onto a plane with you. Read up on that stuff if you're interested.

Review: Great fountain pen.i've just started to get into fountain pens and from what i've seen around this was the best beginner's pen you could buy. and i'm not disappointed.the nib is quite smooth and easy to write on, the construction feels solid overall but i do have a problem with the section being loose, meaning that several times i had to screw back the section in the middle of the writing.another minor problem i've faces is that unless you put pressure on to the cap, the cap will slide off when you post the pen. but this is very minor problem i've faced.overall, i can't really complain about this pen. for it's price point, i think it's really good deal.

Review: The Pilot Metropolitan is an affordable fountain pen with great quality. The weight of the pen is substantial for its price and it writes smoothly. You also have the option of choosing medium or fine point for your nib, which is great. I am now collecting many different colours and styles of the Pilot Metropolitan and love them all. It's a great and affordable purchase for the novice fountain pen writer!
