Esterbrook supreme nib.

[penrivers]

If limited to Renew points, then it is the 2442.

However, I prefer pretty much any relief nib to any renew point.

Thanks for the information Greg, I talked with Sam in Pendemonium this morning. Got it. Greetings from México

I have not met a Renew Point that I couldn't be happy with or give away.

 

Todd

 

Very Wise, indeed!

Hello Brian, please check your email , I sent you a message this morning. Greetings from México.

 

Just ONE nib? I'm with Todd, I either love them as individuals, or send them off to find a happier life with someone else...

Thanks Lisa, nop, I will treasure my 4 nibs and my 3 esterbrooks for the rest of my life, now I am a beliver in the 2048

it is taming me or I am taming it (writing, not with the horrible sand paper), the case is that I love that nib. Lisa, young girl, I wish you 60 years of happiness with Brian. Greetings from México.

If you like that 2048 you would lose you mind over a 9048.

¿Realy?, thanks Bruce, I hope to get one this fall season or sooner. Greetings from México.

[Silvermink]

Of what I've tried, my favorite is probably the 9556.

Thanks silvermink, I am taking note of the 9556. Well, it seems that 95% of the Estie's fans has one favorite

nib.

Thanks to everybody......... I'm getting wise.

Greetings from México.

I have a 2048... and ack, I now want a 9048. (And a 9314F, and a 9128... it never stops.)

Yes Pilot Girl, the 2048 is a champion like Many Pacquiao, very dificult to handle, with good bend and swing,

to the left and to the right, good left jab or left hook, and a straight right with a master line variation, pound by pound

it is the better nib I ever had. (until now). Greetings from México.

Well liapyat's, the 2048 maybe is the incomprehensible, the misunderstanded of the esterbrook nibs, let me tell you how I deal with it.

first,I hold the pen caped,with my fingers a little up of the thread in the barrel nor in the section, so you write

with your arm instead of your hand, cause moving only your hand you aply much pressure in the paper you will tearit

and stumble in it.

Second,dont touch the paper just fly the nib over it, let the ink flow freely, I dont know why but belive me you can get line variations doing that way, I cant explain it, it is magic, try it. Greetings from México. I am running to hide from the purists in fpn.

I know what you mean, I finally saw how a friend writes with her flexy pen, so I am practicing. When I write with the 2048 normally, it writes like a fine stub, and I really love that too

[gyasko]

For me the 2314-M.

 

That's a good one. I also like the 9668s and the 9968s others have mentioned, but the one that gives me the most pleasure in writing is the 2284.

[jimg]

For me the 9788

[JakobS]

Hmm, this is a difficult one for me, I like each renew point for their respective qualities, my extra fines, are truly extra fine (9450,3550, 9550,and 9128), my mediums(2668,and 9668) very smooth and great to write with. My all time favorite though has been my 3668 nib which wrote more like my 2668, than my 9668 which is toward a broad for me, but it was super smooth and an ease to write with, unfortunately I lost it with a red J at a bus stop a year ago!! So currently I have been enjoying all my renew points equally!

[gross]

My favorite is the 9450. If I were to pick a second favorite, it would be the 9550. Hope all is well with you in Mexico.

[penrivers]

Thanks Gross, everything ok here thanks god. Greetings.

[EventHorizon]

My current all time favorite is a 2314-B but I reserve the right to change my mind on a whim!!

[PaFitch]

I'll join those who like fine points but then it depends on the kind of writing. So one nib really can't be fully sufficient.

[Federalist Pens]

I agree with the mediums/bolds mentioned:

(Which I have)

 

2284

2314-M

2968

9668

 

I also like my (Two) 9460(s).

 

But I like medium nibs! People who like fine nibs will give you a whole

different set of numbers!

[PenFisher]

Just one? That's no fun ... however, if I had to live with just one nib forever it would be the 9668. For my hand and writing style this is the best all purpose nib available for my Estie.
