    Pilot Metropolitan Collection Fountain Pen, Gold Barrel, Classic Design, Fine Nib, Black Ink (91112)

    • Mine is a fine and produces a nice thin but full line
    • Writes exceptionally smooth, with very fine lines and easy to refill with ink.
    • I thought that meant that I should exchange for a medium nib, but there are times when the ink flows out in a nice, thick and dark line
    • I also traded my new one in for the store's demo model the next day: the line was too fine for me
    • Bought this to replace a jinhao pen I bought that wouldn't write streak free lines at all
    • The top line for each pen is applying pressure and the bottom line is regular writing.
    • It puts down great lines on all paper with pilot blue/black ink.
    • The fine nib creates a nice fine line when writing at a normal to light pressure (which I appreciate, I prefer fine pens, usually 0.5mm, but the G2s often don't flow well enough for how fast I write
    • The fine nib makes such a nice precise line and letter.
    • It can be a very fine line however depending on the paper being written on, so if you like a bolder script you might want to consider sizing up the nib
    • Writes smoothly and with a fine line.
    • Perfect fine tip nib for fine line writing
    • The nib provides a smooth and accurate line and the price is fantastic
    • This fine nib writers a finer line than a typical Waterman or Parker fine nib on most of their recent offerings
    • A very nice pen for its price; nice weight, well balanced and with classy/ classic line
    • It writes smooth, evenly, fine lines and is a joy to write with
    • Nice clean fluid lines and the perfect line size for everyday use when using the fine nib
    • The pen produces an decently fine line, even finer when tested upside down, and it is very smooth writing on several of my different notebook papers
    • This pen writes with a very fine line and the bladder-type converter is easy to fill, and is very smooth with no skipping when you have it working well.
    • I love that it lays down a very fine line, without being too scratchy
    • Intricate characters in Asia need fine lines so a medium nib from Japan is like an extra fine for Western users.
    • It's so much lighter than other fountain pens I've used, and the extra fine nib produces an excellent weight line
    • The line is very fine, like the Precise V5.
    • But may be a thicker line is more suitable for signature.
    • nice smooth, thin line. very happy with purchase.
    • Fine, but not always a consistent line.
    • Fine lines, beautiful design and nicely packed
    • It writes perfectly, not too wet but still puts down some nice dark lines
    • They write smoothly, and never have problems delivering a consistent line.
    • It writes well, has a fine line, and the ink dries quickly (for all you fellow lefties out there)
    • It glides easily across the page and the extra fine point provides nice clear lines without digging into the paper as some fine point pens do
    • fluid rich lines, not TOO fine and not thick
    • Very clean lines, nice ink flow and contains the ink very well - even with pressure changes while flying.
    • Smooth feel, nice line
    • The fine point is VERY fine, so it's better for taking notes (like I use it for), or thin lining, rather than broad strokes of shaped calligraphy
    • I love the smooth and thin consistent lines the pen produces without any problem so far
    • and the line, ahhhh, such nice flow.
    • I have many of these 'bargain-price-range' fountain pens and this is by far the smoothest-writing, nice fine line, easy to fill and is now my go-to for every-day use.
    • This pen writes very smooth and produces very crisp lines
    • 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
    • I guess it's just poor quality control really, because I just bought the medium sized pen and the lines are even finer and scratchy
    • * Thicker/heavier line on the upstroke* Proprietary Cartridge & Converter size (Platinum pens have the same
    • Great pen, nice fine lines which I love, nice balance for my hands
    • It is for this reason I got the medium, but that is just my personal preference, many enjoy the feel of Pilots extra sharp lines that come from the small nib
    • The lines it produces are so beautifully smooth
    • I have other nice looking pens, so really that leaves thin line as the positive that stands out, so 3 stars from me.
    • They write smoothly, and never have problems delivering a consistent line.
    • It writes perfectly, not too wet but still puts down some nice dark lines
    • It's cheaper, comes with an extra fine nib (finest lines), incredibly comfortable, does not leak, the included ink is the same thin ink you get with this pen however with the extra fine nib it works out well
    • I really liked the thin lines but found the pen to leak like nuts
    • I'm usually a gel pen writer to get a nice line, but this is even better

    • It is smooth writing, the ink flows well, and it gives a crisp realistic line as I write.
    • The ink feeds well and it writes a very fine line
    • Nice fine line.
    • As stated, super thin lines with the fine nib.
    • In appearance, the pen has pleasant lines and is simplistically elegant.
    • This is a small inexpensive line so be prepared for it to be simply not sent by Amazon.
    • Very fine lines
    • Amazing pen, beautiful lines
    • Great pen - the fine point produces a crisp line with very little bleed
    • It hasn't clogged once with heavy, daily use and always gives me nice smooth lines
    • Note that this pen while having only an F nib makes finer lines than the Lamy Safari with an EF nib
    • I've written with it once so far and the lines are awesome compared to some of the other fountain pens I've wasted money on
    • Pilot is a Japanese company, and they require finer lines.
    • ps if you want an even sharper line or just a spare nib purchase a pilot penmanship with the extra fine then swap them.
    • Smooth lines.
    • Bottom line: This won't work for all writing styles/grips, but I love how easily the pen and ink flows
    • To truly get an extra fine line, you need to be using top quality paper.
    • I thought the ink pen laid down a pretty wet line that showed some bad feathering, but did not completely bleed through the paper.
    • Very precise lines, but tip is not that flexible
    • Using nicer lined paper or computer paper would be best
    • It creates a smooth, thin line.
    • No leaks, no gaps, a very smooth line
    • It is a very fine line that behaves well even on sub-par notebook paper and doesn't lay down so much ink that it feathers, ghosts, or bleeds
    • It still writes with a nice, dark line
    • 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.
    • This thing writes really nice smooth lines both thin and thick depending on pressure
    • I prefer (EF) western nibs or (F) Japanese nibs that produce very fine lines with moderate ink flow, so this pen is perfect for me
    • I use it daily and just marvel at the clean fine lines
    • I like the crisp, bold line of the fine point (which is quite fine).
    • The line is smooth and consistent, and I haven't had a single leak!I am definitey going to buy more of these pens and use Noodler's ink with them - one for each color that I use in my persnicketly color-coded notes
    • well made.-It actually makes a fine line when writing, unlike my Lamy
    • The actual fine lines help with that
    • Excellent pen, great line writes as an extra fine tip.
    • it’s soft and clear lines , im ink
    • The lines are very fine, consistent and the flow is optimal
    • This pen has a really nice weight in my hand, and a smooth ink line

    • This pen is up to Pilot standards of being smooth and producing a sharp wet line with my standard black ink - Noodlers Hart of Darkness on my paper.
    • It is just a little scratchy but produces a truly fine line (I've had many fine nibbed pens produce surprisingly thick lines in the past).The pen is reasonably priced at about $20
    • The lines have been smooth and easy, the nib is sturdy and doesn't catch, and the weight of the pen is on the heavy side, but easy to use for hours at a time
    • The ink flows so smoothly through the nib, and I have to exert almost no pressure on the pen while writing to produce a nice, clean line
    • Bottom line: This won't work for all writing styles/grips, but I love how easily the pen and ink flows
