The Pilot Metropolitan Animal Collection Lizard Fountain Pen utilizes a weighted brass barrel and a stainless steel nib for consistent ink flow. It weighs 26 grams and measures 13.7 cm to maintain balance during long writing sessions. This Pilot MR Lizard fountain pen supports both proprietary cartridges and converters for ink flexibility.
Key Features
- Brass Barrel: 26g metal construction. Withstands high-impact drops better than plastic alternatives.
- Stainless Steel Nib: Precision-cut Fine or Medium tipping. Reduces scratching on the low-grade 70gsm paper often found in local markets.
- Snap-cap: Friction-fit closure system. Protects the nib from drying out without requiring a threaded twist.
- Resin Grip: Tapered ergonomic section. Maintains control even when fingers get slick from humidity.
- Cartridge/Converter System: Dual-fill compatibility for Pilot IC-50 or CON-40. Enables the use of bottled ink to lower long-term operating costs.
