So after spending a solid week with the pen, here’s my review. Pilot really sets the standard for what an entry level fountain pen can be capable of. I feel weird even calling it entry level, because the only thing entry level about it is the price. It looks, feels, and performs like pens three to five times the price. I hope you enjoy the review as much as I’m enjoying the pen.
The Pilot Metropolitan Fountain Pen – Handwritten Review

Awesome! Just got one this weekend 🙂
Enjoy it!
This is a completely AMAZING pen for the price. I love mine.
It’s such a great value. I actually just wrote a bunch with mine today. Time to change inks, so far I’ve only had black in there.
I wish they had a broad stub nib for this pen – like on the Pilot 78G. Maybe someday I’ll get a Metropolitan and try swapping in one of my 78G nibs.
Apparently they’re easily swappable, I don’t have a 78G, so I can’t confirm myself. I wouldn’t mind a stub either, especially a decent one at this price point!
Waiting for mine to arrive, hopefully sometime next week. Gold, no design. This will be my first fountain pen ever!
Congrats! I’m sure you’ll love it.
