This pen looks and feels much more expensive then it is, writes smoothly with a touch of feed back. Writes a finer line then other medium nibs which I love – so of you looking for a classy pen that writes more like a fine, this is it.

This a great pen for this price range, it has a certain weight to it that just make you want to walk holding it in your hand. The feeback from the pen is great. Its a glorious pen to write with, finally I can say, bye bye, to all the ballpoints. Lovely pen indeed.

A good quality pen, well made and durable. The cap has a nice positive click when opened and closed, with a almost perfect smoothness between the cap and pen body when closed. Writing is good, with even ink flow and a nice feel when writing. This a a very nice every day pen.

This pen punches way above its weight! I’m very impressed by its quality and that its medium nib (which is finer than the Lamy medium nib in the Safari/Vista) is very smooth while still managing to provide you with just the right amount of feedback. Highly recommended as an EDC pen. Also, Writegear provided quick assistance and excellent service.

This was my first fountain pen and first order from Write Gear. The service received was excellent and I would highly recommend you guys! The pen is a pleasure to write with, so nice in fact that my wife keeps trying to steal the pen from me!

A very great entry level pen. Writes very smoothly for the price with little feedback. I love the smoothness of the pen. The pen is nicely balanced. Very easy to take apart and clean. Writes finer than an European fountain pen.
The pen I bought was fitted an international cartridge type which allowed me to use all international cartridges. I am even using a Kaweco Converter (International Standard) bought off this site. I see the later pens are using the Pilot proprietary cartridges and converters.

A well constructed pen as would be expected from Pilot. Nib is quieter on paper than a Lamy Safari but wetness is comparable in the samples I have. Section could be a bit thicker but this is personal preference.

The Pilot Metropolitan is a great starter fountain pen. The pen is really well made and feels solid in the hand. I have no doubt this pen will last a long time.
Strangely, this is also my pen that gets the most compliments (even when it is lying next to a Lamy Studio or Lamy 2000).
The nib is great. It has a good flow and I’ve never had any hard starting or skipping issues with this pen.
Something to keep in mind: the nib is a fair bit finer than, say, a Lamy medium nib. Being a relatively fine nib, it does have more ‘feedback’ than other medium nibs.
My only complaint about this pen (and this purely a matter of personal preference): the section where you hold the pen is quite small and can get uncomfortable if you write for longer periods. If you have smaller hands then this won’t be an issue for you.

Great pen, this is my second Metropolitan Fountain Black. Lost first while travelling.
Will always keep one in the bag.
Thank you, Chloé.
