To remove the original nib, grasp the feeder and nib between thumb and forefinger and unscrew the assembly. To insert the new nib, hold the feeder and nib between thumb and forefinger and screw the assembly into the fountain pen section. We recommend that you first remove the converter from the section.

Note: Esterbrook is in the process of changing the engravings on its nibs. They will all be engraved with the Eternity symbol from their logo. Therefore, you may receive a nib whose engraving does not match the one shown in the pictures.

Estie Gold Plated Nib by Esterbrook
Above all, a distinction must be made between Japanese and European/American nibs. For the same line thickness given by the manufacturers, Japanese nibs will be thinner than European/American nibs. Thus, an F nib from Sailor will correspond to an EF nib from Jow.
Stub: a nib with a wider than high point that allows you to make thick vertical strokes and thin horizontal strokes. More commonly known as full and loose.
IT (Italic): it has the same characteristics as the Stub, but its flattened tip and angular ends will provide less flexibility in writing. It is used in calligraphy. However, it is less convenient for everyday writing, as it is advisable not to write too quickly so as not to tear the paper. The “cursive italic” variant will have the edges of its point slightly rounded (not as much as the Stub, however) to avoid this pitfall.
MS (Music): Stub nib with two slots (except for Sailor), the parts of the tip of which open out sharply depending on the pressure applied to allow a greater flow of ink. This increases the fluidity of the writing and makes it more humid. In addition to its extreme flexibility, the vertical strokes are thicker than the horizontal ones. Making it an ideal nib for calligraphy. But also for people who love writing. This little box contains 6 cartridges.

My old fountain pen nib was unfortunately no longer good for writing thanks to my lack of bending and grinding skills.
How good that you can get here in the store the nibs of Esterbrook in different sizes and they are so easy to replace. My piece was immediately screwed in and writes pleasantly rich and fluid.
That is so kind of you, dear Horst-Peter. Thank you so much for your nice comment ! We are very glad that you can write with your fountain pen again :)
Super produit, reçu un Estie avec plume flexible F, un peut déçu, mais avec la plume EF, Top, surtout pour une plume acier.
Merci infiniment d’avoir pris le temps de donner votre avis, cher Franco ! Et nous sommes comblés que la plume EF vous plaise !
