Description
Estie, a kind of nick name for Esterbrook, is a tribute to the brand and its storied history. Short for Esterbrook, ͞Estie͟ also provides a feeling of 1930s nostalgia, when phrases like dingy, dizzy, doggy and brodie were commonplace. A time when fountain pens were an integral part of life and communication for most Americans.
Esterbook began manufacturing nibs in the US in the mid 1800s, but the 1930s were a period of importance, as they introduced their first interchangeable nib system in 1933. The interchangeable nibs gave the user many options for writing, whether in school, business, personal etc. Today, a similar system is reborn with the Estie and the specially engineered MV Nib Adaptor. The MV adaptor delivers a vintage nib experience with a modern shape Esterbrook pen.
The Esterbrook Estie fountain pen uses a German Schmidt #6 stainless steel nib (Extra Fine, Fine, Medium, Broad and 1.1mm Stub) and a standard international cartridge/converter system (converter included).
Times may be different, values stay. The Esterbrook Pen Company, a true American Original since 1858, is rewriting its long success story in modern times with a fresh new pen collection based on a complete rebranding. Join the revolution!

I recently purchased the Esterbrook Estie Ebony CT Fountain pen with the journaler medium stub nib by gena and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. The pen is absolutely stunning with its sleek ebony design and the journaler medium stub nib writes beautifully. I love the added control and character that the stub nib gives to my handwriting. I also appreciate the attention to detail in the craftsmanship of the pen. It is a joy to use and I highly recommend it to other fountain pen enthusiasts.

Mooie, zwarte pen, klassieke uitstraling. Pen/nib schrijft vloeiend! Geschikt voor dagelijks gebruik en om lange brieven mee te schrijven en/of te journalen. Ben er zeer tevreden over!

I decided to upgrade the Estie with the Journaler nib and waited the delivery of the pen with anticipation. I had read reviews online praising the pairing but wanted to experience it for myself. I have now been using it daily for 2 months and I love both the Estie and the Journaler!
The pen fits my hand nicely. The diameter of the section is perfect (the threads are very smooth and I am not aware of them when writing), as is the length of the pen – I use it unposted.
The nib is extremely smooth despite its cursive-italic DNA. You get lovely line variation without digging into the paper – I would recommend this nib if you are considering going down the rabbit-hole of stubs, cursive-italics, italics, etc.

The pen reminds me of the sailor king of pen with the closing mechanism of the wancher true Ebonite. The writing experience is great.
