I find this one from Paul Hoban's book to be useful in that it categorizes them by nib size as well.

For love of it. And yet not waste time either.

What about the 3000 and 8000 series of nibs?

Thanks...

Why put it in numerical order.....Original works fine..Folks will think 'tis as Esterbrook did..No point

to mess with what the company put out...Of course this is my personal opinion...Yours will vary...

if it has not already..............

Each of the views has value for a different usage scenario. In numerical order is useful if you are looking at purchasing a pen online and the description says it has a #2450 nib and you have no idea what kind of nib that is.

 

The chart in Paul's book is great if you're looking for a nib for the kind of writing experience you like.

Hey Gloucesterman -- the 8000 series are a personal obsession of mine... they don't seem to be in any nib chart or advertisement I can find with some rare exceptions -- check out my post here: https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/328253-esterbrook-palladium-silver-8000-series-nibs-in-advertising/

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
