Pilot Metal Falcon Sapphire

Description

The Pilot Metal Falcon Sapphire presents a sophisticated contemporary combination of gleaming blue and rhodium trim. If you have favor semi-soft nibs in your fountain pens and like the added heft of a metal body pen, this is an excellent writing instrument to have in your daily lineup.

The semi-soft nature of the Metal Falcon nibs also make them an excellent choice for our Flex modifications, including the noted Super-Fine Super-Flex customization. These customizations will give you more line-width variation on the page, but will also make the nib less smooth on the page, and will require greater skill on the part of the user.

For those who want even greater softness and flexibility, the notched Falcon nib available only on the Custom 743, Custom 823, and Custom Heritage 912 series pens offers even greater initial softness, and even more potential for added Flex through our customizations. This notched Falcon nib, it should be noted, is not actually made available on the Metal Falcon or Falcon pens, only on the models mentioned just above.

For those new to fountain pens, it’s important to emphasize that soft does not equal smooth when speaking about nibs. An unmodified soft nib allows you to achieve modest line-width variation on the page by gently varying the pressure you use while writing. But if you want the smoothest possible writing experience, a rigid nib would be a better choice.

For those who do prefer semi-soft nibs, the heft and durability of the Metal Falcon makes it an excellent choice. The convenient cartridge-converter filling system allows you to use either Pilot brand one-time use ink cartridges, or any bottled fountain pen ink when using the supplied converter. The Pilot CON-70 converter has a generous ink capacity that can equal that of many piston-fillers.

Each pen ships in an attractive presentation box which includes the converter and a starter pack of two ink cartridges. We are an authorized Pilot retailer, and all pens are sourced directly from the manufacturer’s U.S. subsidiary.
