A fantastic value from Pilot, the Metropolitan is a favorite first fountain pen. Part of the Retro Pop collection, this turquoise blue metal bodied pen has a glossy dots-patterned accent band, silver trim, and a steel nib. It comes with a black Pilot ink cartridge and a squeeze converter to use with bottled ink, or you can upgrade to a Con-40 converter if you prefer that style.

The fountain pen comes packaged in a gift box.

Japanese nibs are usually ground finer than their Western counterparts; you can take a look at our Nib Nook to see writing comparisons.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I fill this pen from an ink cartridge? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

A cartridge is small, disposable, sealed plastic reservoir that holds fountain pen ink. These come pre-filled with ink, and typically you just push to insert them into place and you'll be ready to write!

This pen uses proprietary Pilot ink cartridges, which are available in a wide range of colors.

You can learn more about how to actually install an ink cartridge on our blog, or in this video tutorial:

How do I use a converter? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

A converter goes in the place of where the ink cartridge would normally go. From there, you can fill your fountain pen from bottled ink.

A converter is a detachable and refillable ink reservoir that allows you to use bottled ink in a cartridge-accepting pen. Typically you will install the converter into the grip section, dip the nib/feed into the ink, and twist or pull the converter knob to draw ink into the converter.

We have a great video showing how to use a converter here:

How do I clean this fountain pen? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

It mostly comes down to flushing out the pen with water, and sometimes a little bit of pen flush if the ink is really stuck. 

We put together a blog post with step-by-step instructions, or you can watch the video here:

We recommend a good cleaning every 2 weeks, and any time you change ink colors. Water will usually do the trick, but we recommend you use our Goulet Pen Flush if the ink has been left in the pen for a while and could have dried up, or when you’re switching ink colors.

For even more information about fountain pen cleaning, check out our Fountain Pen 101 video blog post.

Christmas Gift

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

Pilot Metropolitan Fountain Pen

I've had this pen for about five years, but this purchase was a gift for a friend who is new to fountain pens. I can't imagine a better "introduction" pen than this. And, of course, Goulet got the pen to me packaged beautifully. Thanks, Goulet!

Hard to go wrong

This is a great pen. I wanted something in a medium nib to try out some of my inks that have shimmer and sheen. My fine pens don't show them off. This pen fits well in my hand and writes smoothly. It out performs some of my more expensive pens that seem to be a little more fussy to write with.

Great pen

I purchased this pen for my wife. It's her first fountain pen after using mine and she loves it. The Pilot Metropolitan is a great value, writes smoothly with no hard starts, and the color is great, a little richer in person.
