Good basic matte black pen. Gold trim is nice and shiny, but doesn't make the pen look gaudy. Converter already installed. No cartridge; you should be using bottled ink anyway. No cleaning required out of box (makes it giftable), inked up the pen and it wrote right away. Cap snaps on with a definite tactile click so you know it's closed. Posts well, grip is plastic or resin and I don't find it slippery. My pen is a fine point and writes as a western fine. Not a wet writer with Parker Quink blue ink. Smooth with very little feedback; nib needed no tuning out of box. Overall a very nice giftable pen, everyday writer, or addition to a pen collection. Will update in a few months on nib dry out time.

Nib is a bit scratchy, but a very nice pen, especially for the price. Read more

The nip quality very low, scratches on paper, not smooth and gives incontinence lines Read more

The pen is excellent, unfortunately while cleaning the nib with a shim I bent one of the tines. I am not very good at tuning nibs so I set out to buy a replacement nib. Searching for replacement parts led me to discover this pen was phased out in 2012 and replacement parts of any kind are not available. Cursory research indicates that the nibs from the Sonnet will fit on the feed for this pen, but I have not tested this myself. Read more

I love Parker and this fountain is a blessing. Super comfortable and very smooth to write with. It's a bit on the chunky side but I love that as it's sturdy in the hand. Yet another brilliant design by Parker Read more

Complete review Pens and inks under Considerration - 1. Parker Vector Metallix (F) with Parker Quink Black 2. Parker frontier Matte Gold Trim (F) with Lapis Bard Irish Joe 3. Pilot Metropolitan (F) with Waterman Red 4. Pilot Metropolitan (F) with Parker Quink Blue 5. Lamy Safari (M) with Pelikan 4001 Violet 6. Lamy safari (M) with Lamy T52 Turquoise 7. Lamy 2000 (F) with Lamy T53 Crystal Amazonite Out of all of the above mentioned pens "Pilot Metropolitan" truely justifies the price, consistent writer whether you choose one pen over other both fine nibs have same width. Looks a classical masterpiece i have no problem with weight of pen or grip (normal 6 feet tall man),.. Only bad part is convertor is old style, you need to buy CON 40 converter for another 600 INR LAMY SAFARI seems overvalued, should be around 2000 INR, both pens feel different but very very smooth can be used whole day for writing compared to pilot metropolitan, though both nibs are MEDIUM but feel slightly different. (not the case with pilot) Parker vector Metallix I would say go ONLY if you have not much of money or just want to start with fountain pens, writing with this is good, pen is very short so not so comfortable (FINE) is comparable to pilot , BUT BUT,..... NONE of the OTHER pens dry, but I had weird experience with Parker Metallix that it gets dry ink if not used for a week, LAMY and Pilot on other hand can be used without headache after a month (Although I know it will be futile to do comparison of pen which is hardly 5 times cheaper with set of expensive ones) but I SAY SKIP Parker Frontier is also FINE, writes good but definitely not on the finer side, better to go for this than Vector Lamy 2000 fountain pen is true gem of fountain pens cannot be compared with the others (and should not be 😂) it's expensive with price of INR 25000, but go only if you love writing,. I do write alot so for me its ok. But first make a habbit of admiring the cheap ones. --------- NOW coming to Inks Parker Quink is truely what justifies the price - depth of color is awesome for INR 100, writes good,. Consistent and dries quickly Best ink you can buy is "Pilot Iroshizuku" and Lamy T53 Crystal collection I have both but could not show sample of Iroshizuku,.. Both costs INR 1500 so not on affordable side,. But fantastic inks Pelikan 4001 is one of the affordable and yet beautiful inks (use with medium nib) to feel the color shading effects.... You can go for it!! Waterman Ink goes with its name, it's watery (Not Bad) but takes time to dry out,.. But rich in color little costly but comparable to Pelikan, makes Pelikan better ink. Lapis Bard Irish Joe is good but expensive, ink dries in between Pelikan and Waterman,.. LOOKS ugly till wet but it's looks jaw dropping BEAUTIFUL once dries, lots of highlights and definitely worth the price. Lamy Ink T52, Ah! Again as Lamy pens it's expensive better to skip this and jump directly towards Pilot Iroshizuku ink Lamy crystal ink i use only with Lamy 2000, ink is good but very expensive than Pilot Iroshizuku, thus making Pilot ink a better choice anyday. Now coming to which Nib Size to choose If you write small really small then go for fine nibs, so Pilot Fine is go to pen if money is not a constraint. Medium Nibs on other sides highlights the shades of inks, much smooth and makes fountain pen a true gem of engineering., I would say if not sure GO with MEDIUM, it's definitely make you into fountain pens. It does not matter how expensive or how cheap pen or ink or watch you use., just you should love it,.. Cultivate a habbit of writing its worth of. Read more
