Q: What kind of cartridges can I use?

Pilot Namiki Fountain Pen Ink CartridgeIC-50 (This is a 6-pack of cartridges.)IC-100 (This is the 12-pack.)They are the same cartridge. It's just the quantity that is different. This cartridge works with my Pilot Metropolitan fountain pen.https://www.amazon.com/Pilot-Fountain-Cartridge-Cartridges-69100/dp/B002G4DHGM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1500573460&sr=8-1&keywords=pilot+ic+100

Q: Does this pen come with a converter or do i need to buy one?

Yes, it comes with a bladder style converter which held up just fine for me for over a year before I stopped using the pen. If you want something that is easier to use and will hold more ink consider the Con40 convertor.

Q: How long does the cartage last?

It depends on your paper, ink, and the nib. Cheap paper absorbs more, a Fine nib uses less ink then a Medium. The Pilot cheap Standard ink , blue, blue/black, blue are not wet inks, that is they don’t flow on with over abundance, flow is smooth, bleed though resistance is good even on cheaper paper, no heavy ghosting. If you’re using cartridges then you will be using Pilot ink. I find the cartridges last a decent amount of time. You can go with the Explorer, same nibs, except it is resin a.k.a. plastic, it’s very light weight like the old celluloid 1930 pens, it can take the Pilot 70 converter which is a whopping 1 ml of ink. Personally I prefer the Explorer over the Metropolitan, the shape feels better and frankly heavy metal pens are tiring to write with over a long period, like class notes. If you go with a converter you can use other manufacture’s inks, but be warned, ink flow, ink use, water resistance, bleed through, ghosting, feathering will vary from ink to ink. Many people enjoy the discovery experience of trying different inks. If you have no interest in personalizing your fountain pen writing, either the Metropolitan or Explorer with Pilot cartridges will do you. But a converter will cut your ink cost in half.

Q: I need to know if this is a plastic pen or a metal pen for the sake of engraving

The Metropolitan which is an old school style torpedo like pen, it has a metal barrel and cap, the Explorer which uses the same nib, is resin aka plastic, can use the 70 converter, has a very modern style, very lightweight like the cellulite pre WW II pens. I would not think you would want to engrave the Explorer. The Metropolitan I would think you could.
