And the fine point nib is my absolute favorite

and I love the fine point

Both write about the same for me, though the nib on the Safari is an EF (extra-fine), to give the same line width as the Pilot fine point.

Cons: I'd prefer a screw-on cap but that's not reasonable at this excellent price point.

Very fine point, flows evenly

The fine point on this Pilot is the best for me

It is nicely weighted and it is a fine point nib

Has Fine points available but you need a good thin ink for that one.

Fine point and no mess and everything you need from a fountain pen at a reasonable price

It writes beautifully and I love the super thin point

The nib has a smooth point and writing shows up just a tad thinner than the average ball pen out there

Go for fine point instead.

Pilot ink lubricates the finer point of their nibs better than any other ink

Fine point, did not like it

I got the fine point and no scratching or dry marks

Be warned I got a medium and it has a very fine point

I got the fine point and it is very smooth

Smooth writing, doesn't skip, even flow, really fine point

I'm still surprised at how nicely my super cheapo Zebra fountain works, and only costs between $3-$8, has a good fine point on it,but dont let it sit around for 3 months, keep the nib wet by dipping

I bought fine point and it is actually an American extra fine

I've been using Sharpie Pen Stylo, Fine Point Pen, 2 Count X 4, 8 Black Pens Total (1742659) pens for a long time

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

I am a total fountain pen newbie but this pen is the easiest, most fool-proof pen I could even imagine being on the market - and at a great price point

but I'm a fan of fine points,

Love the point.

Black ink though in fine point that i was sent wasnt entirely black though

Wrote I beautiful with it’s fine point.

It hijacked a letter I was writing and caused me to toss my heretofore beloved Sharpie fine points in the trash

I love the fine point nib because I write really small letters and it will not give enough ink to bleed through even the worst papers

I love how fine the point it, and it writes very smoothly

I had been looking to get into the fountain pen game for a while, and after researching fountain pens, decided the Pilot would be a great entry point

With the fine point nib the ink flow is inconsistent, the converter that comes with the pen is sub standard, would not recommend.

It is a true fine point pen unlike others that are closer to a medium.

The point where the cap meets pen isn't terribly comfortable, but you get used to itQUICK & DIRTY

I am a fan of thin points and smooth writers (my longtime favorite pen is the Pilot V5 fine point for reference)

I liked this so much that I bought the medium point as well.

The FINE point nib reduces feathering to some degree, but I’ve found that ink choice helps reduce it more than anything.

It is difficult to find an inexpensive fountain pen with a fine-point nib that writes well

The fine point is really fine.

Doesn't leak and has a great fine point

(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!)

At the same time as purchasing the fine point, I purchased an additional Pilot MCFP with a medium; it was a more responsive nib (probably due to being larger!

It writes reliably every time I put it to paper, and the fine point keeps what I write legible

I bought the fine point and the medium.

I used it as an everyday carry pen, I love fountain pens and this is a great starting point since it is budget friendly and losing would not cause major disappointment

Smooth nib, fine point

I just wanted to leave a note for future shoppers, to say that the "fine" point is very much on the fine side.

So far, I have to agree that my pen/nib (for a medium nib) is very, very dry and scratchy compared to my Fine point Lami Vista

Get a fine point nib and you will be one happy writer

but I really prefer that fine point to write with, and this delivers

Fine point, did not like it

I may even look for an extra fine point.

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

Smooth ink flow with the fine point

I like the gold color and the point of the fine nib looks great in my notes.

fine point.

Fine point is perfect.

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 like the fine point, the flow, and the fact that it doesn't clog up even if I don't use it for a few days

I use a fine point nib to write notes in

The Pilot fine point was exactally what was expected.

The fine point has about the right amount of friction

, I was expecting this fine point to be comparable to a .5mm G2 or Precise V5.

Writes very smooth with fine point nib

It's fine point makes for beautiful

Much better than my expensive Namiki extra fine point.

If you're a small writer, you may want to go with the fine point

Fine point, sits well on the hand, well weighted.

I am replacing all of the fine point sharpies, Faber-Castells and other random gel/roller pens I have bought over the years with this single pen.

I purchased the fine point, and was very happy with the line width

so this was the perfect price point for me, and it also unctions perfectly for my needs

The Metropolitan gets props for the ultra thin fine point

Great pen - the fine point produces a crisp line with very little bleed

This has the finest point of any fountain I've used so far

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

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

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

The fine point on this pen is perfect for everyday writing

A few of the reviews on here (including some of the attached photos from other reviewers) would have you believe that this has a super fine point that writes in a dry scratchy manner

I cannot write at all with fine-point ball point pens, but finally, I can write small and legibly with this fine point fountain pen

I got the fine point before realizing it was a Japanese fine point meaning a .45mm nib rather then

I love it, and I am especially loving the fine point black that it came with

but this if it were available in an extra-fine point, but I do believe people have swapped in the Penmanship EF tips easily, so I'm looking forward to giving that a try.

Very fine point makes it fun to write with.

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

Most (but not all), fountain pens have caps rather than retractable points, which invites the risk of loss

I figured I'd spend a little more to try out a fine point

This fine point pen writes so smoothly and effortlessly I can hardly believe it cost me so little (under $12).

Fine point - love it

The fine point is perfect for precision writing, which is something I was looking for

I got the fine point and it almost looked like a knife it was so pointy

Works great, very fine point and quite elegant

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

That said, the fine point writes smoothly, but lays down enough ink to allow expression without accumulating blobs of it

It's weak point turned into a strength for me.

I also like that the fine point is truly fine

The only issue is that the Fine point is not that much different than the Fine than my Cross.

Fine point is a little easier on regular paper than the medium, but I recommend investing in some Japanese notebooks - I’ve been using Mnemosyne for years now and they are well worth it.

recomend you to buy it from amazon.com:The price in amazon-Spain for the metropolitan with fine point starts at 20 dollars and the medium moreover none of them include the squeeze comverter

I like the crisp, bold line of the fine point (which is quite fine).

The fine point is VERY fine and writing is very smooth

Perhaps this is just a problem with the finer points

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

so I was using the Fine point on my Pilot Cavalier as a benchmark

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

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.
