This is the best comparison video I have found re these nib grinds. Well done to Ashley and the team at Yoseka for the thought and time put into this.

I had Gina put a needlepoint and extra flex on a Pineider Quill nib. It would be awesome if Yoseka had a nibmeister be at the store every other week or maybe once a month. I know Josh Lax is based out of NYC/NJ.

'The Journaler' - the nib I didn't know I needed 😍😍. Excellent video, thank you Ashley

I came here looking for (and expecring to settle for) a nib that will just kinda work for writing Hebrew - and the Scribe nib you showed just made me so excited and warmed my heart. Thank you so much.

I came across Patty Wilbanks' channel on writing the Bible and I over the past few months have gone from intimidation to absolutely loving the process. I don't even want to finish mine in English before I go straight into Hebrew, it's so beautiful and means so much.

I have The Journaler by Gena and it is easily my favorite specialty grind on any of my specialty nibs. I love how the line variation is so subtle yet very precise at the same time. For a stub, it also has a relatively large sweet spot when writing. I have the Estie in the Botanical Garden color and I spend so much time just staring at it. Love the configuration I got!

Thank you for this! I thought I wanted the techo nib but I think I might actually truly want the journaler 🤔

Terrific video. All the special nib grinds from Esterbrook I’ve been trying to get hold of for some time. Particularly the Journaler ,Architect and Techo nib. Thanks for doing this.

These look amazing, such a fantastic video ☺☺☺

I usually grind my own needlepoints because I have a very small handwriting, I should give a try to this one 🤔... Something that would be very nice is compare these new speciality nibs to the original specialty nibs, I have a small collection of 7 different ones and it would be nice to see how they perform in modern Esterbrooks.

Thank you for this!!! I wasn't an Esterbrook bout the standard nibs are too wide for my preference. This was very helpful to me.

This is a great video! So well presented, informative, and I love the instrumental music in the backround 😊. So well done! I love the colors of these Estie Pens [the brown Journaler nib please] 👍 😎🥹
The nib logo sheets are really nice, I haven’t watched enough to notice them before, very informative! 👏 Thank you for the video, Really Good stuff!

I want them all!! Thank you for the video Ashley! So happy I finally found you over on IG! I love fountain pens so much and it’s nice to see someone who likes them as much as me lol! 😅

Thank you Ashley! So helpful! Looking forward to receiving the Techo nib! Must say, I will likely add the Journaler and Scribe nibs to my collection soon!
