About Esterbrook Estie Nib Unit - Gold Plated Replacement gold plated steel nib unit for the Esterbrook Estie range of fountain pens. Please note - Does not fit the Estie Slim Fountain Pen. Details on special nibs: Journaler The Journaler nib is created by Gena Salorino of the Custom Nib Studio in Los Angeles and starts life as a medium nib, which is then ground to a stub. The idea is that it’s smooth and friendly enough for everyday use, and gives your writing some flair, without being too large for practical writing. Needlepoint The Needlepoint is ground from a fine nib, and is the creation of Colorado-based nibmeister Kirk Speer of Pen Realm and is a super-fine nib that's perfect for Japanese scripts like Kanji and Hiragana, as well as for detailed note-taking. The Needlepoint is for anyone who thinks an extra-fine could be finer but it's perfect for everyday pen users, too!The Needlepoint gives a very precise line good for writing small in tight spaces like the margins of books or maximising the use of a notebook. It can also be very good for artists and sketching. The nib does not grab or tear paper and the shape of the tip is not common to traditional needlepoints. It was inspired in part by Kirk’s love of the posting nib. Scribe The Scribe nib is ground by New York based nibmeister, Josh Lax. It starts out as a broad nib and is Josh’s take on an architect nib. The Scribe nib is designed to give the writer the flexibility of broad downstrokes and fine horizontal strokes, and can also be used in reverse for additional variation.
