Estie - Petrified Forest / Gold - Journaling (Gena Custom)

Overview

What better place, then, to start our journey through Route 66 for the first in a new series of pens from Esterbrook? Petrified Forest is the latest Estie, celebrating the beauty of taking it easy on Route 66, bypassing the shortcuts for the long way around the country, and enjoying the natural splendor along the way. Our acrylic blend perfectly matches the Arizona landscape, making this an ideal pen for those with a little bit of wanderlust –and a lot of imagination –in their hearts.

The Estie line is a comfortably balanced fountain pen, fitted with a branded #6 JoWo nib unit. The cushion cap closure also provides a secondary seal to ensure a wet point. Available in a wide range of nibs sizes, the Estie will be your faithful writer for years to come.

The Journaling nib is a custom grind for Esterbrook by Gena Salorino of the Custom Nib Studio in Los Angeles. An apprentice to nibmeister John Mottishaw, this nib is described as a "medium stub grind, based on the vintage Esterbrook 9314M nib. The idea is that it’s smooth and friendly enough for everyday use, gives your writing some flair, all without being too huge for practical writing”.

A converter and 1 ink cartridge is included with this pen and comes housed in a luxurious fabric covered pen box.

For those looking to use their vintage Esterbrook nibs, the Vintage Nib Connector will allow you to use them with this pen.
