The Pilot Metropolitan Fountain Pen - Lizard is a modern classic for everyday writing, combining a balanced metal body with Pilot’s highly dependable stainless steel nib. The satin bronze finish feels refined yet approachable, while the lizard-patterned mid-band adds a subtle graphic accent without overwhelming the clean silhouette.

Craftsmanship & Design

A brass barrel provides reassuring weight and durability that belies the Metropolitan’s accessible price. The satin bronze finish resists fingerprints and wear, and the tapered, streamlined profile slips neatly into a pocket or notebook. A firm, functional clip and a secure snap cap round out a design that values practicality and neat presentation in equal measure.

Writing Experience

Pilot’s steel nib is known for smooth, skip-free performance with consistent flow. The Japanese Fine offers a precise, tidy line ideal for notes and compact handwriting; Medium brings a slightly broader, easygoing stroke. Balanced in hand capped or posted, the Metropolitan remains comfortable across long pages, delivering predictable ink delivery that makes daily journaling and quick lists feel effortlessly composed.

  • Nib: Stainless steel; Fine or Medium (variant dependent)

A fantastic entry-level fountain pen

While the Metropolitan is often recommended as a first fountain pen, it's my fifth. For comparison, I have a Lamy Safari (F), TWSBI Eco (F), Jinhao X450 (M), and Luoshi Bamboo (M). The Metropolitan is the first of those that feels really premium - it has a pleasant weight, and the metal construction feels solid in the hand. The nib is very fine - noticeably narrower than the other fine point nibs I've tried, but still very smooth writing. It's very professional looking, as well.

Overall, I feel it is a great value for a very nice pen.
