This is the Crocodile colorway from Pilot Metropolitan's "Animal Collection." It's a black Pilot Metro fountain pen with a black crocodile-skin pattern on the section.
The Pilot Metropolitan is both a great entrypoint into fountain pens, or a lovely step up from something cheaper like the Platinum Preppy or Pilot Kakuno. Its all-metal painted brass body looks stylish and upscale, and its painted brass construction feels solid and elegant in the hand.
The Pilot Metro Animal Collection fountain pens look amazing, and you'll find them to be real conversation starters in the libraries, coffee shops, and classrooms you take them into.
