Unscrew the end of the barrel to reveal the button, dip the nib in ink and press the button a few times: the pen draws ink in with each stroke. It holds more ink than a typical cartridge or converter. It is a satisfying, hands-on ritual that connects you with the golden age of fountain pens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe beauty of tortoise\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTortoise patterns have graced fine pens and spectacles for over a century. Each hand-turned barrel shows its own play of light through the acrylic, so no two pens look exactly alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your nib\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEsterbrook's steel nibs are smooth and reliable. Choose EF or F for small, precise handwriting, M or B for a bolder line, a 1.1 stub for elegant variation, or one of the flex nibs if you want to add a little expression to your strokes with gentle pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout Esterbrook\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEsterbrook has been making writing instruments since 1858. The modern Estie brings that heritage to life with generous proportions, beautiful materials and the brand's signature cushion-closure cap, which helps stop the nib from drying out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use cartridges?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. This model fills only from a bottle of ink using the built-in button mechanism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it a good first fountain pen?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, if you enjoy bottled ink.
