The Pilot Metropolitan in Gold Plain is a well-balanced introduction to fountain pens with a finish that feels both classic and understated. The gold-toned barrel adds a bit of warmth without being flashy, making it easy to carry into everyday use.
It’s fitted with a stainless steel nib that writes smoothly and consistently from the start. The feel is controlled and reliable, whether you're taking notes, journaling, or signing documents.
The weight is solid but comfortable, and the snap cap makes it quick to use without any extra effort.
The pen uses Pilot proprietary ink cartridges. Depending on the production batch, it may include either a squeeze converter or a CON-40 converter. Both allow you to use bottled ink.
(Not compatible with standard international cartridges.)
