Looking to get into the world of fountain pens? This may be the perfect starting point for you!
A popular pick due to its many appealing features, the Pilot Metropolitan (or Pilot MR) is a highly-recommended, easy-to-use fountain pen at an affordable price.
The durable metal body has a large diameter for an easier, comfortable grip. It has an ideal weight and balance designed to exert pressure perfectly on paper without your hand getting tired. (The weight can also be slightly adjusted by having the cap on or off the top side while in use.)
Included in the case is one Pilot black ink cartridge. Refill cartridges in many other colors can also be purchased separately.
Also included inside the pen is a Pilot CON-B squeeze converter. This can take the place of an ink cartridge and will allow you to use bottled inks inside your pen, which greatly expands your ink color options! (Just make sure the ink is approved for use with fountain pens so the tip won't get clogged/damaged.) But if you aren't ready to fill your own converter yet, simply remove it and insert the included, pre-filled ink cartridge.
Each pen comes conveniently packaged inside a black case with clear top for safe storage and easy gift-giving!
Made in Japan.
This version has a fine steel nib that releases just enough ink for a smooth flow without skipping.
