You can swap out the nibs on the Pilot Metropolitan too, for about the same price -- though I haven't seen anywhere to get a broad nib.

  • Metropolitan/MR comes in Fine & Medium
  • ExtraFine nib from a Pilot Penmanship (for [less than 7USD](https://www.amazon.com/a pen for less money than a usual nib/dp/B006CQUI9O), which is cheaper than any loose nib I've seen)
  • stub nib from a Pilot Plumix (for [11USD](https://www.amazon.com/yay stub nib!/dp/B0058NN4M0)) - I really like how thin the cross-stroke of this is, and have this nib on several Metropolitans

    Then you get a "free" pen with the purchase of your EF/Stub nib, though I don't actually use any of my Penmanship/Plumix pen-bodies.

I'd love to hear what other folks are using. Ideally, I'd like a case that can fit a total of 16-20 fountain pens, but hopefully with a smaller footprint. The 96-slot Global Art Leather Pencil Case is almost perfect... but they changed their design since I bought mine and they now have only one loop per slot instead of two. (I utilize both loops for smaller things, like pencil leads, wax stamps, etc.)

My current case contains the following items, but as you can see I'm just about out of room!

Side A: Pencils

  1. rOtring 800 in .05
  2. Uni Kuru Toga Pipe Slide in .05 with red nano dia lead
  3. Uni Kuru Toga Pipe Slide in .05 with blue nano dia lead
  4. Uni Kuru Toga Pipe Slide in .05 with green nano dia lead
  5. Erasers: refills for the General Pencil Co. Factis BM-2 mechanical erasers, plus some for the Kuru Toga
  6. A pair of General Pencil Co. Factis BM-2 mechanical erasers (a nice, thin eraser capable of area or detail erasing)
  7. Extra red, green, and blue Uni nano dia lead
  8. Extra black Uni nano dia lead (in a spare Pentel container)
  9. Alumicolor 6" engineer pocket scale, standard (used as a straight edge)
  10. Heavy-duty X-Acto Gripster knife

Pilot Plumix is a very cheap option that writes really well. I like it better than my Lamy Joy.
Here's a link to it's Amazon page : Pilot Plumix Refillable Fountain Pen, Black Barrel, Black Ink, Medium Point, Single Pen and Cartridge (90055) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0058NN4M0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_u29YAbYDTZ8FF

It costs under $10 in the US.

The ones you have on there are pretty nice! Here are some more that I personally like: 1 2 3 4

I'm about to screw you over even further. Pilot Plumix and Penmanship have nibs that are compatible with Metros. Just pull the feed unit, change the nib (the metal part) and you're good to go. My Metro is now a calligraphy pen with line variations and shit.

You don't even need to get an old one. There are calligraphy sets in most art stores (you'll usually find new Shaeffer sets, which I've heard mixed things about), and Pilot makes a cheap (for a fountain pen) italic pen which can be had for around $10. Most of the people who have come to me asking for a starter pen, after seeing my writing, were happy with a Pilot Plumix
