An affordable EDC pen that deserves to stay inked for months.

NOTE : I purchased another 2 of these Pilot Metro CM nib fountain pens.I purchased another 2 because I could not locate any other way to purchase more Pilot CM nibs.I will be able to use the 2 pens by removing the paint leaving the brass exposed to gain a patina.This makes brass based fountain pens available to gain patinas.I ordered this Pilot Metro fountain pen because I did not have a CM nib fountain pen.I already own many Pilot Metro and all of the Pilot Cocoon fountain pens and so I know I would be getting a quality fountain pen with a expressive nib.This CM nib writes just grand.I am pleased with this purchase.

Pros:Pen has Good build quality.Writes without drying out.Stub nib experience is different compared to regular fine or medium nibs.Cons:Grip section is very thin. Pen is usable if you have small hands or if you post the pen.Stub nib is not exactly smooth in the edges. Still it's a fun nib.This Stub nub metro costs twice as much as regular metro. If you don't have a Stub nib then I recommend getting one. If you can increase your budget, get a twsbi Stub. Twsbi Stub has smooth nib than the Pilot.Regular pilot medium nib is very smooth. This Stub has a slightly rough feel on the edges. It is by no meand bad. It adds a character to the pen and much easier to control than a glass smooth nib.

And amazing price for a classy pen. If it's your first fountain pen, you may want to look up some videos on the quirks they have. Pick one up and you won't regret it!

I have quite a few fountain pens, and while this isn't my dear departed Mont Blanc, it is a lovely writer at a great price. The 1.0mm stub nib gives very nice line variation and the ink flow is smooth and even. Don't hesitate.

Pen Feel: The pen feels solid, and a bit heavy which is good thingNib: The nib is a bit scratchy, I would say that due to being untipped, howeverthe nib is forgiving, and can be used for everyday writing - however the nib is a bit on the drier side. I have had no hard star tissues. (Paired with a Con-40 Convertor).Writing Experience: The stub nib adds a nice touch to your handwriting, and the pens is very fun to write with. Definitely recommended for beginners and everyday writingOverall, great pen a wetter and smoother nib would've given it another star.

I didn’t read that it was stub nib, so that was a bit of a surprise when I got it. The pen is fantastic. Writes smoothly and because of the stub nib’s thicker lines, my handwriting looks wonderful. The ink cartridge that comes with it works fine and doesn’t leak, although I did buy a piston converter to put in here, as I think the squeeze style leaks too much. I didn’t test it with this pen, so I can’t say whether this one will leak, it’s just my experience with other squeeze converters.

The pen very well constructed. It comes with a nice storage box and a converter. The ink flow is very smooth. Additionally, the pen is made from quality material relative to it's price tag and to other pens in the same price range.You cannot go wrong with it as beginner

Pilot makes an awesome writing pen. The pen is well made, has a weight to it and is nice to use to write. The pen comes with a rubber bladder if you want to draw up your ink from a bottle or, if you remove the bladder, convenient ink cartridges. The only thing that you need to watch for is the nib thickness. This particular nib is a bit wide (I didn't realize it when I ordered), so this pen (1.0mm nib) writes a bit wide. If something happens to this pen, I'll probably get a .8 or .5mm nib.

Excellent writing experience with impeccable ink flow and very impressed by the line variation for the nib size. Pound for pound my best pen in terms of writing experience for price paid. Highly recommend!

I have well over 100 fountain pens, most in the $80-90 range, a few $300+, and several in between. The Metro was my first re-entry pen after a lengthy hiatus. This is the 7th that I have bought in 3 years. Why? Well, the stub nib is just glorious. One of my absolute favorites. All of my Metros now have stubs. But wait, that's not all. It is a solid pen, with a lovely finish, that is comfortable, well-balanced, and not oversized. Even though it's metal, it's not heavy like some well-known inexpensive Chinese brands, so your hand won't tire during long writing sessions. And because I like to change ink often, the converter doesn't hold too much ink like some piston fillers. And one of my favorite aspects of this pen is the ease in cleaning. The nib/feed assembly easily twists/slides out and fits back in with no doubt about it's placement. Because Pilot's nibs are proprietary, they only seat one way on the feed, and are easily reinserted. The Metro is quite simply one of the best values on the market.
