I've been trying to find a good, buttery, smooth, metal and especially long lasting oblique calligraphic pen, preferably one with a converter and classic design. I'm so into pilot metro but the nib is the normal one, the mundane one, and i hate the mundane one. I've been thinking about lamy joy but the design is very ugly for me. (Please note that, for me, i'm not trying to be offensive) the other way out is to customise the nib but $70 pen is too much for everyday writing. By any chance, do you know the way out? I want a pilot metro with oblique nib (but if that's impossible, at least the italics or stub) or else, another pen with buttery and smooth oblique nib that won't make my wallet looks like it has been doing a strict diet. I've seen sheaffer calligraphy set but it doesn't seem to be convincing. I've head manuscript's too but they said it's horrid. Maybe an interchangeable oblique nib that fits pilot's? Ps. I actually wanted to do a simple scaled calligraphy with a fountain pen.
