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!
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!
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 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.
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.
Thank you for this video, it Will help ed to know what nib I May like. I wondered which of the nibs would tolerate inks with shimmer, sheen or both characteristics best?
Out of the specialty nibs, you could probably use the journaler, scribe and techo nibs with shimmer/sheening inks but not the needlepoint. Hope this helps :)
I love the nib variety but I hate how Esterbrooks feel in my hand... I am constantly told to do a Journalers nib. I wonder if that will be ppopular for you guys.
Too bad tou skip the parts where some of them skio at the start. If it does that i would like to know that. I really hate it when a pen sikps at the start. Why did these do that coming from a nibmeister. To bad you didn’t mention in your video. Otherwise thanx for taking the time to explain and great video
I have all three nibs, except for the Needlepoint-I feel like my fine Platinum 3776 Sakura Celluloid does the job. But who knows? Maybe I’ll get Kirk’s just to complete my collection. 🤍 My go-to is Gena’s; I have two Esties w her grind.
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.
'The Journaler' - the nib I didn't know I needed 😍😍. Excellent video, thank you Ashley

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

A needlepoint nib is also wonderful for writing on copy paper or other cheap paper.

Oh man. It looks like all the specialty nibs are sold out on Yoseka’s website. Missed the boat. 😢
They will be back in stock so you should definitely sign up for the restock notifications on the models and nib sizes you're interested in :)
