Weight and shape feel nice in the hand and writes very well

Great pen writes very smooth and has a nice weight to it

I use this pen at work, it writes nice and good weight.

Hefty weight in your hand

This pen has a nice weight to it and makes writing feel elegant

Bought the fine point first time, but the feel of the nib on the paper had too much friction

I love the scratchy feel of it

I like the feel of the pen body in my hand and the weight is good and balanced

This Pilot fountain pen writes very well and has good feel

Love the feel and the weight of the pen and it writes really well.

I really like this pen, primarily due to the smooth writing, fine nib

Although, sometimes when I'm writing with it, some extra ink leaks out, smudging my writing and making it look like I pressed too hard on the paper.

I bought a metropolitan pen a few weeks ago; however, it was a medium nib, which was too thick for my sloppy writing

The ink does leak sometimes, but the ink flow while writing is mostly consistent

The fine nib has a good amount of feedback which prohibits smooth writing.

This would be my second fountain pen, my first being a cheap-o that I got to get free shipping on a larger

This is the smoothest writing fountain pen with a fine point.

The fine point on this pen is perfect for everyday writing

I've only cleaned the nib once due a mixture of my lack of experience and having somebody else try it who handled it like a cheap ball-point and it still works pretty well

Writing is crisp and fairly effortless for a fine point pen.

And at such a great price, I would highly recommend this to those just breaking into the fountain pen world

I got this to see if I'd like using a fountain pen and it is very good, especially for the great price

They look nice and the price is great, but they leak all over the place.

But its sturdy build and reasonable price makes it a popular and great pen

The price of this pen it will be very hard to find one better.

Bottom line: This won't work for all writing styles/grips, but I love how easily the pen and ink flows

I may need to break in the pen more, but the nib is still very stiff and very sharp/thin lines and dries out fast/not very wet at all

* Thicker/heavier line on the upstroke* Proprietary Cartridge & Converter size (Platinum pens have the same

Nice pen grip good, fine line with nice ink distribution, comes with refillable tank

It does lay down a very thin line (I bought and am reviewing the fine tip) which is what I was hoping for with this pen.

I like how it feels in my hand, I like the way it looks, and I love the smooth flow of ink.

The only issue is that it can be somewhat temperamental with the ink plugging up, especially after changing cartridges or not writing for a bit, and trying to clear blockages can easily result in a big mess o' ink everywhere.

This would be my second fountain pen, my first being a cheap-o that I got to get free shipping on a larger

Terrible ink flow and a nib that just won't keep straight.

Super-smooth nib, great ink flow - even with cartridges -

This is the finest fountain pen you can find at this price

I own much more expensive and exclusive fountain pens, but I’m now wondering why.

I've been looking for a good, cheap fountain pen for who

A very effective fountain pen for a very reasonable price

It just doesn't wright like a fountain pen just like any other

The pen feels great in the hand and extended writing sessions are not so fatiguing as with my super fat cigar shaped fountain pens, which I also love

This is my first fountain pen, and I really love the way it writes

You get ink on your fingers from time to time, but I love the way it writes.

I absolutely love the way this pen writes, but I think mine was a lemon

The nib is a joy, thin to my tastes, with an almost impossible to miss sweet spot

When writing on poor quality loose-leaf paper, it doesn't do justice to the pen at all

Love the pen; really great quality and finishes; however doesn't work that well with the pilot ink from the bottle

It's a very good quality pen and it also comes with a case!

If you are looking for a good, quality pen at a VERY good price, look no further.

The pen feels heavy enough from a good quality build but not too heavy for discomfort

The fine nib is also amazing comparable to about a .4-.5mm pen when used on good paper and a 0.5-0.7mm pen on absorbent paper with feathering

one problem I have with most of my pens is feathering (ink bleed) on cheap paper.

Only problem is that the fine nib is scratchy, but I use cheap paper

It doesn't skip or scrape, even on cheap notebook paper

My only problem is that fountain problems are so reliant on good paper.

Cheap starter pen, if does bleed a little bit sometimes but not enoigj to ever stop using it.

I am a bit of a pen snob, collector, appreciator... and this pen loves up to all the positive reviews

Writes smooth, puts down ink well, but it does leak a bit

The Pilot 78g used to be my go to cheap fountain pen, but this writes every bit as well, is in a much nicer body, and is only a couple bucks more

In an age of automatic digital connected wearable voice activated everything, there's something almost primally satisfying about writing on real paper with a pen that requires a little bit of effort and skill but rewards you with a much better experience if you're willing to try

The pen is so good but the ink gets out pretty easily and smudges my hands

I don't consider myself to have big hands, but my hand tends to cramp when using the Metropolitan

The grip is nice and wide, so my hand doesn't cramp up as much as it would with your basic Bic

The pen feels great in the hand and extended writing sessions are not so fatiguing as with my super fat cigar shaped fountain pens, which I also love

Also, the pen writes decent however, for me the ink would spill out and then would stain my hands with the mess it made

This thing just will not stop leaking every time I try to use it.

Every time uncap the pen ink leak on my hand and inside a cap.

I have only just received this lovely pen and time will tell if it becomes my favorite

It writes as well or better than pens 20 times the cost without the worry of toting around something that took a decent chunk of a paycheck

The more astounding thing to me is that you will have a hard time finding a better one without spending a ton of money

If you don’t mind cleaning ink leaks or just use it for journaling or other light use, it would be fine.

The ink is nice and dark and I haven’t any issues with ink leaking.

Smooth as can be and getting better the more I use it

The grip is nice and wide, so my hand doesn't cramp up as much as it would with your basic Bic

I used this pen for a few months and had consistent problems with ink leaking out of the converter

I've used it for a couple of months now and have had no issues with the nib becoming clogged or needing a cleaning (yet).FYI in the picture 1 = 60lb card stock, 2= recycled post-it note, 3= index card, 4= lightweight cream copy paper

However my issues and more so your issues with this pen will be invisible

The only issue I've had is the nib leaking and an unfortunate mishap with the converter.

But again, was hoping this wasn't a fountain pen issue, rather a cheap fountain pen issue

I've had several of these and every single one has made a huge mess, they start out ok but after a few months they leak like crazy

The problem is it leaks like crazy even if it's just sitting around

Every time I write the ink gets all over my hand cause the pen leaks like crazy

This pen leaked a little in the beginning, then started to leak a lot

It sometimes even leaks a little from the force exerted by opening the cap

The pen does leak a little but perhaps it's because I don't write often
