Notebooks

I spent a lot of time considering what pen I wanted owing to the fact that my previous pen, the Muji Aluminum Fountain Pen had a rather disappointing writing experience. And after this careful consideration I came to the conclusion that my next pen would be the eponymous Pilot Metropolitan. I can say hands down, out of my small collection of Parkers and the Muji, that the Pilot is the best looking as well as the best writer. Throughly satisfied with my purchase.

A rose with thorns dipped in blood and shadow. The ink glimmers first as deep wine, the color of a chalice raised in a darkened hall, before sinking into bruised plum and near-black velvet. It feels vampiric—luxurious yet fatal, like silk cloaked over stone or lips stained by forbidden hunger. There is a romance here, but it is no gentle love; it is the gothic allure of midnight gardens, where roses bloom against the cold and every petal hides a secret wound.

I'm new to the fountain pen saga.

And this one has been an absolute banger.

It flows like butter.

Lovely Vac filler pen

This is my first Laban pen and bought it here. The pen looks nice with a look of "made by marble". It writes smooth, soft and with nice feedback. Thanks a lot Makoba for the opportunity.

Custom 74 has been an absolute delight, bought from Makoba, broad nib, 14K gold. As an entry level gold nib, works perfectly fine. Though, people worried about nib size comparisons between western and Japanese nibs, should reconsider buying broad nib for pilot custom 74 thinking it at per with for western sizes, it is not. "Broad" seems like universally "Broad" .

Amazing service from Makoba as always. Safe, secure and fast. Thank you Makoba Team.

I was looking for this colour and got at Makoba. Thanks Makoba. Ink performance is excellent.

It's impressive. 10/10. Upgraded version of Lamy 2000.

Best of the best fountain pens. Nothing comes close in terms of sheer writing experience.

i did not get this

Bharath from Makoba was polite kept me updated till I received my pen and my ordering experience was great. I loved the pen and I received it in proper packaging. The nib and feed is wet and the design is beautiful

This is excellent one at this cost. I have used many, but this is somewhat different. Balancing w.r.to weight is quite good. I had been trying to get it for many years, finally I got it. Thanks to Makoba.

The grip of the Pen is perfect. Nib moves on the paper very smoothly.
It would have been great if a Converter would have been provided with the Pen.

Nice to hold and good to write
