Pilot MR Metropolitan Fountain Pens Reviews
This is my first experiment with stub nibs as I'm usually a fine nib guy. I'm glad this nib is a little narrower than a standard 1.1mm stub. I can still write legibly on college ruled paper and the pen is not too wet that I bleed through the cheap paper. I am blown away by how awesome this pen is! My handwriting is still small but it just looks better with that italic calligraphy flair in it. Going to use this pen a lot!

The Pilot Metropolitan is a great pen for the price. I have two, both with a fine nib and have really enjoyed them. It is also nice that they come with a converter. I do not like that the ink level cannot be seen with this converter, but it works well overall. A great value for a good workhorse fountain pen.

This is a surprise performer for me, after using Lamy 2000 and Montegrappa for a while. I wanted a throw around pen in my car and got the Metropolitan, and am blown away by the perfection of the nib (Japanese Medium). It’s a bit lighter so I use it posted and that just works fine.

Great starter pen, comes with a converter and cartridge. Very smooth nib and consistent pen. It is very different from something like a Lamy which provides more feedback. The barrel is metal, and pen has a nice weight, balance and grip. Overall, will make an excellent daily writer, or gift set.

This pen writes beautifully. No scratchy dryness and a nice fine line. It comes with squeeze ink reservoir, so you can use bottle inks without an additional purchase. This is the second Pilot Metropolitan I've purchased and may not be the last because the finishes are great colors and the brushed metal finish feels good.
