    Pilot Metropolitan Collection Fountain Pen, Black Barrel, Classic Design, Medium Nib, Black Ink (91107)

    • Would have liked a medium nib, I find the fine nib a bit too scratchy
    • can use cartridge or rubber refillable (i use the rubber refillable, its a bit messier process but a bottle of ink goes a long way.)
    • however I have noticed it leaks quite a bit when compared to my other fountain pens
    • The nib sort of leaks a bit through where the plastic feeder and steel border
    • The initial priming of the pen was a bit messy and wasteful.
    • Dealing with the ink was a bit of a mess at first but entirely easy to pop in and go
    • Occasionally leaks the slightest bit of ink, but it's probably because it shakes around a lot in my bag.
    • Refilling using the included bladder can be a bit tricky
    • Just suck up a bit of ink and put the converter in the pen
    • The pen leaks a bit but you learn how to work around that
    • The new pen maybe was a bit more solid and MIGHT last a bit longer because of better construction, but this Pilot pen writes amazingly
    • I got the medium nib and that uses a good bit of ink
    • The tiny hole in the nib also bleeds a bit, but it's really not that big of a deal
    • the pen is smooth, and a bit
    • A drop of superglue was sufficient to secure it back in place, but I was a bit surprised how easily it fell apart.
    • The Japanese Medium nib is about the same width as an American or European fine, a good bit finer than a Euro Medium
    • I writes smoothly on high quality paper but seems to come out a bit thick and messy on regular notebook paper
    • My ink runs a bit dry (waterman mysterious blue) but, the namiki ink that comes with this pen is like writing with lube
    • I love the accent band, as it gives the pen a bit of pizazz without being too showy
    • Leaks quite a bit, but writes nicely.
    • Wonderful, I like it
    • smooth, simplistic, and beautiful I just love it
    • I’ve used this exact pen with the fine nib before and not had a problem but this pen can’t decide if it doesn’t write at all, or if it wants to put out so much ink that an ‘e’ looks like a filled in black circle
