This pen writes so smooth! Very easy to use! I got the medium nib and no hard starts! I think the White Tiger is the best looking of all the Metropolitans! Goulet Pens are a wonderful group of people to do business with!

It glides on the page on any type of paper. Nice weight to it. If the starter pen writes like this, I want to invest in the higher end model.

Gifted this pen for Christmas to someone who has yet to enter the fountain pen world. I'm hoping to convert them. ;-)

These are one of the best little fountain pens for the price...in any colour!

Was excited to try this pen and bought it after it was promoted as a knock around pen. I loved the look and the way the fine nib wrote. Very smooth. However, one day when unpacking my bag, it fell out (approximately 3 feet to the floor). The cap flew off, but the pen appeared fine. Then i noticed ink all over my fingers the next time i wrote. After disassembling and cleaning, I discovered that one of the seems in the grip section from the injection molding has failed.

I’m disappointed that a knock around pen did not survive one drop, so I can only give it a 3 star review.

I have had my eye on this pen for quite awhile. I already had a pilot vanishing point with a fine nib and wanted to try their steel fine. This is the smoothest fine steel nib I have ever used. Pen feels very solid without being too heavy. You can feel the seems on the grip section from the injection molding, but that doesn't bother me at this price point. I will be buying a few more of these as gifts.

I have used fountain pens all my life. Although I have expensive ones, the ones I love the best are the simple Pilot Metropolitan. I have many sets. This year I purchased them for my daughter and daughter-in-law to introduce them to the pleasure of writing with a "real" pen. They arrived quickly and beautifully packed. I've never had a bad experience purchasing from Goulet, which I've done for years. Many thanks.

I had heard many praises of the Pilot Metropolitan, yet I had not sought to buy one for myself. I thought it a pen I would eventually buy when the chance arose. That chance came when my fiance began to show interest in fountain pens, and asked me to buy him one. I recommended the pilot metro, and bought him one in a color he chose. It has become my favorite fountain pen buy to date. So much so I bought a second one for myself.

Wonderful. Packaging perfect as usual. Thanks so much

Is a good pen with great build quality and a great nib

I wanted to get a second Pilot Metropolitan because I wanted one with blue-black ink and a second with black ink. The pen is an incredible value and writes very smoothly. I've use the white tiger with black ink cartridges. It's a great 'use everyday' pen. And I own 5 vintage pens, but the Pilot Metropolitan writes as smoothly as some of my gold-nib pens.

This is my third Pilot Metro. I'm absolutely stunned by how smooth the Metro writes for its price.

Amazing pen. Definitely one of those pens where it's not expensive but not cheap in quality once so ever. Smooth writing.

I have recently begun writing with fountain pens and I have to say this one is my favorite. I have others that cost me way more and do not write as nice and as smooth as this pen. The ink dries pretty quickly so no smearing either.

excellent, enjoy this pen thoroughly

I love this pen! It is metal so it has a bit of weight, but it isn't too big so it doesn't feel too heavy, just solid. I'm new to the fountain pen world, but this is by far the smoothest writing pen I've ever used. It certainly has a bigger sweet spot than any other pen I've used. The only negative I have is that the cap doesn't post well and sometimes comes loose, but that's a minor thing.

Outstanding pen! I do prefer the fine bib to the medium.

My 5 or so latest purchases has been Pilot Metropolitan, love the feel and how to clean and use them. I like the reaction I get when I get noticed using fountain pen....

Great experience, smooth writing with the medium nib. An exotic beauty 'in my opinion' at an affordable price.

I think it's a pen that's great for how cheap it is. The only thing to note is that the nibs run much finer than your average pen.

A good pen writes well; you get this with the Pilot Metropolitan. Pilot nibs perform the best. I own this pen in different body colors and nib sizes as well as seven (7) other types of Pilot pens, and none have ever caused me problems. Always a smooth flow across paper and no hard starts or skipping. So tired of the cheap pens purchased at the office; this is a great pen for use at work and performs well on cheap paper. I'm quite satisfied with my purchase.

This is my second metropolitan. I just love these pens. Perfect weight and size. Love the fine point. So fine that I can use them on any paper without mess at work. Price makes it easier to do a collection of these if that is your thing.

I was so surprised how good this pen was when I used it for the first time. I had tried another brand at this price point and hated it. This is a very smooth writer and I love the click cap. It's now my everyday carry in my checkbook. Can't go wrong for this price and it looks nice too!

Caneta excelente uso no dia a dia, macia, muito boa para o dia a dia.

It's a great pen at a great cost. I like the weight in my hand and how finely it writes. For my typically bold writing, it's a very nice change that allows me to write using legible letters in even cramped spaces.

I love writing with the Pilot Metropolitan fountain pen so much that my son noticed and wanted one for himself. This is now his go to pen.

I'm fairly new to fountain pens and though I've read a lot of reviews and experimented with various beginner fountain pens, I always come back to these for my daily writers. The Pilot Metropolitans are a comfortable writing weight, especially when the cap's not posted, though I can use them both ways depending on how much I'm writing. They're easy to fill and write nicely with minimal pressure - the pen's own weight is enough to get a clean line. I've only had hard-start issues with one of my fine-nibbed pens and I think that was a cleaning issue on my part. After flushing the pen and refilling it I've had no other problems at all. In general, I've learned that I prefer the medium nib because it allows for better ink flow and ink colors are half the fun of fountain pens! Overall, I've always been happy with my Metropolitans (I have 5 now, 2 medium and 3 fine) and the price is great for the reliability and ease of use. I'd definitely recommend these pens regardless of your experience with fountain pens because they're comfortable, affordable, and dependable.

I bought this pen with a medium nib because I already have a fine nib Pilot Metropolitan pen. The medium nib is noticeably larger when writing, so I am still getting used to it after using a fine nib for quite some time. I love the feel of these pens. They have weight but are not heavy, and they feel great in my hand. I love the way this writes and haven't had any problems with leakage or ink flow. I even bought a second one (different design) for my 14 year old son to use with his homeschool work! This is just a great every day pen.

This was my first fountain pen and I love it. I got the white tiger and it's so pretty. A true white. I have only used it with the included cartridge so far as I don't have any bottles of ink yet but it works great. I got the fine nib and it's very fine and writes very smoothly for me. No skipping and no leaking. It's not a very big pen nor is it very heavy but it fits well for me. I have petite hands. I am looking forward to getting some bottled ink soon so I can try using it with the converter. Thanks Goulet pens for your helpful videos which allowed me to chose my first fountain pen.

Arrived on time with a very nice and thoughtful note! It makes me feel special that they took time to write something. I'm very pleased with the pen as well! The ink flowed nicely and cleaning it is so satisfying! Thank you!
