{"product_id":"pilot-falcon-metal-black-fountain-pen","title":"Pilot Falcon Metal Black - Fountain Pen","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis jet black Falcon Metal pen is a sturdy upscale variation on the hugely popular Black Resin Pilot (formerly Namiki) Falcon with the same semi-flexible nib. This lacquered metal body has a little more heft and a larger converter for greater ink supply but uses the same 14k gold nib as the resin pen, but with rhodium plating to match this pen's elegant exterior trim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Metal Falcon is slightly heavier and longer than its resin cousin. 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, which holds considerably more ink than the standard filler.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePilot Namiki has given new attention to the barrel and cap of this already compelling design. The trim on this shiny metal barrel is a bright rhodium, which provides a marked contrast to the black-and-gold look of the resin pens. While the resins fountain pens offer the look of a classic workhorse pen, the metal series suggests something different - sportier, distinctive, and more substantial. But what the both the resin and the metal pens have in common is the unique flexing properties of the Falcon nib.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable in black, brown, burgundy, and sapphire, the color range for this pen series employs metallic lacquers to make the colors truly come alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shape of this nib is ideally suited for flexibility. With moderate pressure, the tines spread, making a wider line. The broad nib pictured 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 extra fine point. We take it down to an extra-extra fine and add more flexibility, making it a very good contemporary nib for flowing Spencerian script. Only the Pilot Custom 912 with the Falcon nib is a better candidate for Spencerian customization.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pilot","offers":[{"title":"Extra Fine (EF)","offer_id":43707417887015,"sku":"60461","price":304.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Fine (F)","offer_id":48492825215271,"sku":"60570","price":304.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Medium (M)","offer_id":43707417985319,"sku":"60670","price":304.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Broad (B)","offer_id":48492825248039,"sku":"60770","price":304.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/0486\/9168\/files\/PilotFalconMetalBlack.jpg?v=1716602386","url":"https:\/\/nibs-usa.com\/products\/pilot-falcon-metal-black-fountain-pen","provider":"Nibs-USA.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
