Thanks for this video. I noticed they offer this nib as an upgrade for that new Esterbrook Ebonite pen and I was intrigued. I’m glad to learn more about this nib.
I have a journaler’s nib in my Esterbrook Rocky Top. It was first Esterbrook pen and I love it. I just recently pur the Esterbrook Scribe nib and I’m looking forward to trying it out. Like you I also on the Esterbrook Estie in Seaglass and will put the scribe nib on it. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy the SF pen show.
Thanks so much! I hope I won't be too overwhelmed at the show. I hope to be able to test the Scribe nib at the show. Would be a lot of fun! Hope you'll make a video, I'd love to hear your opinion!
I like the sharper edge of the journaler nib. Describing it like a medium stub nib? Is that a thing? 🤔 It is a great writer! I want more esties, and I want more custom nibs!
Did I really say that? I tried to find it just now, but I can't. Would you be able to point me to the minute? Regardless, if you look on the Esterbrook page for the Journaler, this is how it is described: "medium stub grind" - so I guess it's not wrong. I absolutely agree on the more Esties and more custom nib movement. LOL. Bring them on.
Finally getting the chance to watch the video. How many Esties do you have now? 3? I always forget what the journaler nib is, but I think I'll not forget anymore. It did look good with Serenity Blue. If you rotate inward, you might find a left oblique really helps you. I do love that Seaglass. Now just have to check out the Techo nib??? and I'll finally be caught up.
I only have one custom nib: a broad Jowo 6 cursive italic ground by Kirk Speer. I put it on my Amber Opus 88 Jazz. It looks amazing and is such a smooth and fun writer. After watching your video, I’ve set my sights on acquiring a journaler nib.
The journaler nib looks so good with your handwriting. It looks and feels much like a standard round nib to me, but I have had mine for 1.5 days so what do I know 😂 I would love to know how similar or different it is in comparison to a FC sig nib!
It's not so vastly different than a 1.1 or 1.5 stub, but I can see the edges on the lines. They are not all the same width and that's exactly what I'm looking for. A bit of variation, but not that much that I have to be super precise or that the writing feels laborious.
@@seemownay Interesting. I didn't feel that it was similar to a stub, but to a regular round tipped nib. I compared my writing before the grind to after and there is a difference to the horizontal strokes but I struggle to see it with my writing. I'm thinking I need to write in a different style to see it more...? I'm not sure, but, at the moment, it is my least favorite custom grind. 😣
That's are really tough question. Both nibs are so different - and I have used the Techo more as a sketching pen. I really want to use and try the Techo with colored ink just like I use all my other pens for journaling and letter writing. I really can't say I like one over the other.

My pleasure!
Oooh I'm here for new nib experiments! Love the assortment of pens on the desk too!
Yeah, I'm very much in love with my small #6 nib pens.

I've been looking into the scribe nib too!

Very cool! One day I’ll get a nib with a Journaler Grind. It looks beautiful! 🤘🏼😸🧡🖋
I'll send you mine!
Wow you make this look so good! I hope to snag one of these one day
It's so good!

@@seemownay lol, no! I don't think you said it, but that's how I described it in the comment!
Thanks for this. Have been curious about this nib.
Glad I could help!
I may have accidentally got this nib as well. I'm glad you love it!
@cerealnana where did you accidentally 😂 get your nib from? UK?
@@Tamara-pens Nah, ordered it straight from Esterbrook. Got here in two days!
@@cerealnana thanks will have to look into that. Quite fancy the nib but not necessarily another pen body.
@@cerealnana were there any extra import taxes on top of the nib and shipping?
@@Tamara-pens nope!

Have a lot of journaler nibs, also scribe and techo nibs. Use 14/18kt nibs in many esties too. Really loe the journaler best! 17:26
how fun, I have never seen this type of nib
I'm glad I was able to introduce you to something new!

I really like the Journaler nib. I have two!
Yes, I can see that - I really enjoy the nib!
Do you like the Journaler or Techo nib better for the Estie?
That's are really tough question. Both nibs are so different - and I have used the Techo more as a sketching pen. I really want to use and try the Techo with colored ink just like I use all my other pens for journaling and letter writing.
I really can't say I like one over the other.
Which nib arecyou referring to when you sat SIG nib?
A nib ground by Audrey Matteson and offered through Franklin-Christoph. It’s a Stub Italic Gradient nib hence called SIG.
