About Lizard Pilot MR Metropolitan
The Pilot Metropolitan fountain pen offers a fresh new modern look. Designed with a brass barrel and stainless steel accents and nib, the original Pilot Metropolitan comes in three matte finishes, black, burnished silver, and champagne gold. Now with added colors the Pilot Metropolitan fountain pens are available in the Animal and now Retro Pop collections.
Packaged in a convenient gift box and shipped with one black ink cartridge as well as a squeeze converter. This inexpensive fountain looks and feels quality. The Pilot Metropolitan is a great gift and must-have for fountain pen enthusiasts from beginners to experienced.
The Pilot Metropolitan is one of the top starter fountain pen and is often compared another starter pen, the Lamy Safari. Although the Safari has a wider range of color and nib choices, the Pilot Metropolitan has recently expanded it's range to Fine, Medium, and Stub with a decent color selection. Although the Pilot Metropolitan doesn't quite match the versatility of the Lamy Safari, the lower price point makes the Metropolitan an excellent value, surpassing many other budget-friendly fountain pens.
The Pilot Metropolitan fountain pen boasts several standout features that elevate it above others in its price range. Firstly, the barrel is crafted from brass, lending the pen a substantial heft and the feel of a much pricier writing instrument. Secondly, the nib is a highlight, offering exceptional quality. Despite being a medium nib, which might not appeal to everyone, it delivers an impressively smooth writing experience with minimal feedback. This combination of weight and nib performance makes the Pilot Metropolitan a remarkable pen for its cost.
The Pilot Metropolitan's brass barrel adds a significant, enjoyable weight to the pen, enhancing the overall writing experience. This heft makes the pen feel more balanced and substantial in your hand, lending an air of quality often found in more expensive pens. The added weight promotes smoother writing, as the pen glides effortlessly across the page, reducing hand fatigue during extended use. This tactile feedback transforms everyday writing into a more engaging and pleasant activity.
Although there is a limited selection of nib options, the Pilot nib performs well, and is practical for constant use. Also, the Stub nib option also provides adoption for varied writing needs. When paired with a basic ink such as Aurora Black ink and the Rhodia 80g DotPad, the combination delivers an exceptionally smooth writing experience. Pilot Metropolitan's nib is remarkable with exceptional quality. The performance ranks among the best basic steel nibs available across any price range. The nib's smoothness stands out, offering an effortless glide with almost no tactile response on the paper.

I have most of the pens in the Metro line, including those sold under the 'cocoon' name in Japan. I'd say they are ideal beginner fountain pens, but they are perfectly respectable intermediate pens as well. They are sturdy, easy to clean, perform very consistently, and if you have a smaller hand like I do, the slimmer profile is a big plus. Overall a great pen with unbeatable value; this is my go to for everyday and for travel.

I wanted an inexpensive pen that I could carry in my handbag and not feel it was to "precious" if something happened to it. I read so many good reviews on the Pilot Metropolitan that I decided to try one. It writes consistently well with the different inks I have used so far and is very comfortable in my average sized hand. I especially like the simple elegance of the plain black color.

Excellent quality. Good writer. I just so easily damage the nibs if I ever drop the pen, which requires a full replacement.
