This pen has a really nice weight in my hand, and a smooth ink line

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

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

It has a very hefty weight with a perfect balance in your hands

Hefty weight in your hand

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

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

I really like this pen, nice and simple and has a great feel

I love the scratchy feel of it

This Pilot fountain pen writes very well and has good feel

fantastic every day pen, smooth writing and great hand feel

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

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

Had I realized just how smooth and easy writing could be with a fountain pen, I would have switched over from gel pens years ago

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.

The fine point on this pen is perfect for everyday writing

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

Seems nicely built and looks good, but the ink flow is awful (I have tried two different inks so far) and the point is terribly scratchy

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

I would compare it to a fine point sharpie pen in that regard

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

This is a really nice product considering the cheap price

If you're like me and want a good fountain pen for a crazy good price, "this is it" the Michael Jackson movie.

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

Such a great price for a good quality beginner fountain pen

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

The fine nib makes such a nice precise line and letter.

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

This pen has a really nice weight in my hand, and a smooth ink line

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

They both stopped flowing before their first cartridges were empty and I could never recover them

It has a good weight and consistent ink flow even with off-brand ink

I am writing with the ink cartriges and they are consistent flow very well and affordable

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

My first time buying a fountain pen, although I've used expensive fountain pens in the past

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

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

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

It writes well, even equal to or better than my more expensive fountain pens.

I like the way the pen writes but gave it the score because it leaks.

but sometimes i find that the converter that the pen comes with does not fill all the way and also sometimes the pen will leak excess ink through the nib

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 have been using it extensively, and i love the way it feels and writes.

Such a great price for a good quality beginner fountain pen

Poor quality ink that came with the pen should be changed out but other than that it is a good buy for the price.

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

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

Of course not but as a pen its writes very nicely, doesn't leak, and is very good quality

feels like as blue line after blue line appears on my fine paper with this exceptional pen

Use only one page if you really want to or only use it on good quality paper

To truly get an extra fine line, you need to be using top quality paper.

the provided (branded) ink doesn't bleed a lot even on cheap paper

No Feather ink and writing on even cheap paper is a joy.

Pen has a nice, solid feel in the hand due to the brass construction, looks respectable, and has a smooth Pilot nib that puts down a fine, moderately wet line and has a bit of give to it (not enough to call it flex, but it gives a softer feel when writing than some of the hard German nibs so common in most other moderately priced fountain pens) and handles just about any ink you throw at it like a champ

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

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

Can bleed a little bit but nothing to be concerned about.

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

(Side note: the medium nib is more like what America defines as a fine point nib, so this pen is suited for those with heavy-handed writing as well!)

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

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

I use to have huge ink spills on my bag, hands always stained with ink but not with this one

Couldn't be more happier with it, received many compliments!Arrived well and in perfect timing.

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

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

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

The ink doesn't leak and the writing comes out perfect every time.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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