Description The Pilot Metal Falcon fountain pen in Sapphire is a slightly larger and heavier version of the popular resin Pilot Falcon fountain pen. The Pilot Metal Falcon features a soft 14k rhodium plated nib that offers line variation as you change your pressure while writing. If flex is not your cup of tea, the nib works just fine with normal pressure for normal writing as well, making this an extremely versatile pen! The metallic finish is slightly sparkly, catching the light without being too flashy. The polished rhodium trim accents the body and cap color nicely. The Pilot Metal Falcon comes with the Pilot Con-70 push button converter, and optional Pilot cartridges for additional options. Each Pilot Metal Falcon pen is packaged in a standard Pilot gift box Please note that Japanese nib sizes tend to run on the finer side, so your line with will be thinner than with a western nib. Additional Pilot ink cartridges and other Pilot converters are also available. We offer Free Shipping on all orders over $59 for US customers, and for orders over $250 for our Canadian customers.
