- Today I'm comparing three different nibs: a cursive italic, a journaler's grind, and a 1.1 stub.
Thanks for requesting this, Jenn!

The Esterbrook is so cool. Love the composition notebook look💝
Thank you so much! Newbie fountain pen addict and was looking for a comparison like this! So helpful!
It's a small gripe (and I never shame anyone for it because I dont know their situation) but Im always surprised by videos of people dropping hundreds and thousands of dollars on fountain pens who dont seem to put in the effort or practice to improve their handwriting.
Its just really nice to see these nibs being competently utilized to show off what they can do in the practiced hands of a skilled writer.
I think I'm going to try my luck with a cursive italic nib. Thank you for making this.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! I must admit, I don't practice my handwriting as much as I'd like. I just don't have the time for it currently. Most of my fountain pen use at the moment is for work notes! Which are on the sloppier side. Ha!
This is soooo good! What a difference between the line width of the 1.1 stub and the Medium custom grinds. Now I know why I prefer a broad nib to start on a custom grind. 💚💚💚🖋
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it! If I get custom nib work down again, I'll have to try a broad. Maybe one day, at a pen show...I can dream!
great comparison vid! exactly what i needed to see!
I'm glad it helped!
Thank you so much for the comparison! You have convinced me to try the JG out!
Wonderful! I'm so glad it was helpful. I really love my JG. I'd eventually like to get another.
@@sarakatieee It was very helpful! Placed an order today and should be here this coming week. Looking forward to it!
Thank you for doing this for me! I love them all in your handwriting 😆 I can’t make a stub nib look that good in my own handwriting. I really like the CI and JG. They are nearly the same but I think if I had to choose, I would go for the JG because you say it’s a little smoother. Thanks again 🥰🥰
Thank you so much, and you're very welcome! I'm definitely in love with the journaler's grind.
Will try a 1.1 stub. Looks like what I’m looking for.
Thank you for sharing this video. I have been looking for this information:).
You're very welcome! I'm glad it was useful.
Great comparison. I am very interested in trying a journaler's grind.
Thank you! I really recommend the journaler’s grind- I love mine!
Great comparison!🎉 thanks!
Thank you so much! 💖
Great comparison!
Thank you! I'm glad you like it. :)
Thanks for the review, as I'm thinking of an Estie Journaler's nib.
I really enjoy it!
Loving this vid. Now want to try the JG nib. Mmmmmmm
I have several Franklin Christoph SIG nibs and a couple CI grinds. I really enjoy both.
Thank you! I really enjoyed making this one- I can’t believe it’s been over a year now! 😱 I have a FC M sig- I really need to play with it more!
Great video & comparison! Timely too! I'm ordering my 1st Journaler nib & I'm also looking at getting custom grinds for a couple of my pens. Really enjoying your videos & tags! 🙂
PS - TWSBI stubs are the best!
Thank you so much! I really do love my JG- but I'm definitely a stub and CI fan. And yes, I absolutely love my TWSBI stub!
@@sarakatieee Hi Sara! CI is one of the grinds I'm considering actually. There's someone here in CO where I live who does great work (Kirk Speer) so I'm going to reach out to him & see about a CI grind for one of my pens. Btw - I love the ink you used for the comparison. I'm normally a 'you can never ever have enough purple' girl 😄 but I'm currently on a green/greenish-brown ink kick (expanding my ink horizons, if you will ;) specifically, mossy, kelp, chartreuse, olive tones. In fact, I think I'll re-check out your tea-inspired inks video again! 🤔
thanks for the video of all those different nibs! I'm far from doing a special grind but one day maybe!
I'm glad you found it helpful! I love stubs and CI so much. I'll probably have more done in the future, but hopefully once we can travel again, so I can have them done at a pen show. :)
@@sarakatieee I have never been to a pen show! I have a feeling that it would be a dangerous thing for my wallet to visit!!!!
@@CraftingVicky neither have I! I can only imagine how dangerous it will be, haha!
Gina Salorino is so aw3some!! She did the "Needlepoint flex" on my gold flex nib!
I've since moved on to steel Stub nibs. I may see what kind of nice smooth gold stubs she can work up this winter.
Yes, she is wonderful! I look forward to having her do another nib someday in the future. I’ve not heard of a needlepoint flex. I’ll have to look it up!
She's done two of my cursive italic grinds, and one smooth & tune. I love her work, and I agree, I think my cursive does look better with the CI grind too. I do think I may compare it to the Nemosine .8 stub since they might be super similar.
Yes, you're right! It does write very similar to that one.
Ooooo I’ve never had a nib grind done before, there is a guy local to me who offers this service and is regarded highly, and have wanted to drop a pen off there however was unsure of what to ask for! I love the look of the journalers grind! Is this something I could request or is it special to an Esterbrook pen? The other two are lovely but I think would be too ‘boxy’ for my handwriting is you get what I mean? Also, that INK 😍
I think the Journaler grind is special to Dromgoole's (a store in Houston, Texas), but I'm not entirely sure. You might be able to have something similar if you have a M nib ground to a cursive italic, but slightly rounded on the sides, so it's not sharp? And isn't that ink gorgeous? It was my first time using it in pens!
Cool Dino-unicorn sticker! Also, what is that awesome red splotch on your paper towel?
I love that sticker: it's a unicorn skull by @sketchingerin on Instagram or PaintingMeetsPottery on etsy. I absolutely love her art. I'm starting to become a collector!
Oh, and the red splotch is Colorverse Curiosity; I swatched it in my last video, so that was the paper towel I used! Lol.

What is that notebook?!
How is the journal nib different than a broad?
The journaler’s nib is like a medium stub, while a broad nib is still larger, with that more rounded line.
