    • As far as fountain pens go my experience has been from owning a couple of vintage Japanese refillable pens, a found Mont Blanc for several hours until returning it to it's rightful owner and a whole heap of cheap pilot, Parker cartridge pens with shoddy and ugly gold plated nibs.. and a few of those "calligraphy set" type junkers.. the build quality of the Metropolitan is phenomenal
    • Highest quality Classic "Old School" fountain pen but pales in comparison to "Modern" fountain pens
    • But if you want a decent quality, low cost fountain pen this works.
    • 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
    • Very good quality for a pen at this price.
    • Of course not but as a pen its writes very nicely, doesn't leak, and is very good quality
    • Hoping for a little wider tip and better quality ink
    • The one major complaint I have is the nib is not as high quality
    • Nice, cheap, high quality pen
    • This is a beautiful quality pen and writes with a nice fine script.

    • Love the pen; really great quality and finishes; however doesn't work that well with the pilot ink from the bottle
    • Good quality pen
    • Overall the quality is really good for the price but the convertor needs to change or hold more ink
    • Quality pen, Very durable since it's made of metal instead of plastic and even comes with a
    • Quality was better than I anticipated for $15.
    • When writing on poor quality loose-leaf paper, it doesn't do justice to the pen at all
    • Although I wish it were heavier, that's when the superior ink quality of Pilot comes into play
    • Writes with practically no pressure down, and has a nice quality weight to it
    • Quality, simplicity, elegant without any nonsense
    • For less than $12 though, the pen is of amazing quality and feels great in the hand
    • This pen is on the cheaper side but also good quality
    • The quality is surprisingly good for a 12 dollar pen, and it coming with an ink converter is a huge bonus
    • If you are looking for a good, quality pen at a VERY good price, look no further.
    • I have used many different fountain pens, in terms of functionality, this pen is up to the task, the minor gripe I have with this pen, is it is senstive to the paper you use, if the paper is not of good quality, the pen can be scratchy, I know this can be a personal preference issue, some folks may like a little more feedback from their pen, I generally like smooth nib
    • I am very disappointed of this bad quality.
    • Great quality and amazing price!
    • Overall, the pen feels like great quality
    • Very affordable BUT VERY GOOD QUALITY!!!!
    • Poor quality ink that came with the pen should be changed out but other than that it is a good buy for the price.
    • I do highly recommend getting a good quality notebook of paper for use
    • It's been my go to pen ever since I bought it, superior quality and functionality
    • Won't regret the purchase for good quality at a low price.
    • It's my first time getting a fountain pen and this is excellent quality for the price
    • Use only one page if you really want to or only use it on good quality paper
    • Very poor quality, built with a heavy metal to give off a premium illusion
    • The pen's initial ink catridge is fine, filled with good Pilot quality ink.
    • I have been a fan of fountain pens since my college days and have had an assortment through the years, but eventually turned to ballpoints because I couldn't afford a good quality pen with a fine nib.
    • Poor quality pen that easily breaks.
    • This pen will write on any paper, but, the better quality the paper, the better experience and results
    • good quality product.
    • Very nice quality for the price
    • Very inexpensive, yet a high quality pen

    • The quality is so nice
    • Great quality, just packaged wrong

    • I store it in its case to prevent scratching but the surface is durable.this is a metal pen - not plastic :) lovely quality.
    • Good quality
    • Great quality for the price.
    • My Bulow Pen was reasonably priced, Excellent quality,wide selection of nibs and pens, replaceable KNOX points, convertible, has ink pumper in it, uses Intnl
    • By and large, I'm finding the quality is consistent: one works just about as well as the next
    • Excellent nib quality and great feel in the hand
    • The grip is nice and wide, so my hand doesn't cramp up as much as it would with your basic Bic
    • Smooth as can be and getting better the more I use it
    • The nib is a joy, thin to my tastes, with an almost impossible to miss sweet spot
    • 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
    • I think this, plus a very fine emory board will make it just about perfect as the nib itself is still a little rough under magnification
