Pilot Metal Falcon Fountain Pen - Black

I was only in New York for a few days, but Yoseka was at the top of my list of places to visit. I was finally ready to purchase my first gold nibbed pen but hadn't really had the opportunity to try out a lot of pens. Azul helped me out for the better part of an hour and I finally landed on the Pilot Metal Falcon with a Soft Fine nib. I love the smoothness, the bounciness, and how expressive it is. The pen is amazing but the customer service was truly top tier . I wish I lived closer but my wallet is glad I don't!

This is my second time purchasing the Pilot Metal Falcon. My first was an SEF which I felt was too fine with too much feedback for my liking. After selling it I found myself really missing this pen. In my opinion, the weight, balance, and section are perfect for my grip. It is one of the most comfortable pens in my collection. After realizing this I had to add it back to my collection, though moving up to the SF. This is my sweet spot. The nib is perfectly precise while still producing the quintessential Pilot smooth line. This is a top 5 pen in my collection and I am so happy to have it back in my rotation. Down the road I could see myself adding yet another to my line up so I can have two inked up with different inks at once.

Many may want to go for the less expensive resin version and that may be right up your alley. However, know that that metal offers room for the far superior CON-70 converter. And in general the weight and feel of the material on the metal is much more substantial and luxurious.
