I love my Esterbrook Model "J" with the 1.1 stub nib. It is beautiful and great to have a modern Ebonite pen. I had to put a little bit of tissue paper in the barrel to stop the converter rattling against it. And I would like the cap to post deeper, since the pen is quite small unposted but awkwardly long when posted. Overall it is a great pen, and I am happily using it outside when journaling.
To be honest I think I rather invest my money in Eboya, especially as I can get them a tad cheaper with a gold nib. I honestly think it's quite a pricy proposition for a material that is very cheap and not that difficult to turn. Still., I like the trim on the pen and I know Esterbrook has great customer service so, maybe that helps offset the price.

Thank you, the rattling drives me crazy.
I enjoy my Estie a lot. I haven't tried the Model J. I think the Estie fits my hand very well.

Next, can you review the Parker Vector? I heard it is a good pen and I would like to look into it more.
I feel embarrassed for never having tried one! They aren’t a brand I generally come across.
