Description

The Metropolitan is the pen a lot of fountain pen people point to when someone asks where to start, and for good reason. It has a solid brass body that feels way nicer than the price suggests, and a smooth steel nib that just works.

Pick the fine nib for small handwriting and journaling, or the medium if you like a bit more line and ink flow. Heads up: Japanese nibs run finer than Western ones, so a Pilot medium writes closer to a European fine.

  • Brass body with a clean, classic look
  • Smooth stainless steel nib in fine or medium
  • Takes Pilot ink cartridges or a CON-40 converter for bottled ink
  • Comes in a gift box, so it's an easy present
