Pilot Falcon Metal Fountain Pens

Namiki Pilot Falcon Resin and Metal Fountain Pens, seen in comparison

With a lacquered metal body and four color options, the Pilot Falcon Metal is a sturdy upscale variation on the hugely popular Black Resin Namiki Falcon, seen above. The Falcon Metal utilizes the same flexible 14k gold nib as the resin pen, but with rhodium plating to match this pen's elegant exterior trim.

The result? One of today's most distinctive and popular nibs placed on a new body. The Falcon nib, highly prized by many pen aficionados, is possibly the most flexible now available.

The Metal Falcon is slightly heavier and longer than its resin cousin--at 33.3 grams, compared to 18.3 for the resin, it has a more substantial feel between the fingers. At the same time, it still offers a comfortable and easy grip, with its added quarter inch of length providing balance for the extra weight. It also allows this pen to use the high-end Pilot premium converter.

This is a sleek and streamlined pen with a classic look. Pilot Namiki has also given new attention to the barrel and cap of this already compelling design.

Available in black, sapphire, burgundy, and brown, the new color range for this pen series employs metallic lacquers to make the colors truly come alive.

The trim on these shiny metal barrels is a bright rhodium, which provides a marked contrast to the black-and gold look of the resin pens. While the resins offer the look of a classic workhorse pen, the Metal series suggests something different--sportier, distinctive, and even more stylish. But what the both the Resin and the Metal pens have in common is the unique flexing properites of the Falcon nib.

This pen comes equipped with the premium Pilot converter, which holds 1.7 ml of ink, considerably more than the standard filler.

The shape of this nib is ideally suited for flexibility. With moderate pressure, the tines spread, making a wider line.

The broad nib seen here can be customized to a flexible left oblique, a great point for correspondence which allows for considerable line-width variation.

Another favorite customization utilizes the extrafine point. We take it down to an extra-extra fine and add more flexibility, making it the best contemporary nib for flowing Spencerian script.

The Metal Falcon is now available in Extra Fine, Fine, Medium, and Broad.
