Esterbrook Estie review by The Gentleman Stationer

When Kenro first announced that they had acquired Esterbrook back in April, I suspected they would turn out something good, but the Estie far exceeded my expectations. Given the history with the “new” Esterbrook brand, first resurrected a few years ago to little acclaim and much derision in the pen community, I was concerned that the Estie wouldn’t get a fair shake, but it appears that the reception has been largely positive, mainly because you can’t argue with the fact that the quality is top notch…

Esterbrook Phaeton Overview

Esterbrook’s new Phaeton 300R is a classic revival of the brands original Phaeton model released in 1964. The hooded nib fountain pen was all the rage during the 1960’s, and appear to be making a comeback with the new generation of fountain pen enthusiasts. 

The Phaeton 300R has many excellent features which make it stand out from other pens in this category. First and foremost is the price. At a suggested retail price of $85.00, it is truly an exceptional value for this well designed and functional fountain pen.

Available in four colors, Mineral Blue, Spruce Green, Signal Red and Midnight Black, The Phaeton is made from a beautiful 1960’s inspired acrylic material which feels great in the hand.  A brushed metal silver cap with gold plated clip, add elegance and style to the overall look of the pen.

The most important feature of the Phaeton 300R is the way it writes. Esterbrook used a hooded F/M gold plated hooded nib which allows the ink to flow wonderfully. A special inner cap insert prevents the ink from drying when not in use. The Phaetons removable plunger filling system makes for easy cleaning and maintenance.

The Phaeton 300R is functional pen designed to be your everyday user.  With its added styling , it is truly a classic revival at an amazing price .

Now available at authorized Easterbrook dealers Worldwide.

CLASSY CARRY: THE ESTERBROOK PEN NOOK SIX PEN CASE

Esterbrook Estie Honeycomb (Medium Nib)

I usually hate medium nibs. Both Bob and I have been picking up this pen and using it and commenting on how much we are enjoying it. That’s say A LOT. He usually writes with a fire hose and I usually write with a needle and we both like this pen and the nib. I usually like small pens and he likes oversized pens. To say that this is the perfect “in-between” sized pen that works well for larger hands and smaller hands might just jinx the magic….

Esterbook Lilac Slim Estie

The Lilac is a brilliant violet with a crushed resin look. I think the silver hardware looks great with the purple color. I think the color choices keep getting better with the Estie. The new Esterbrook Estie started with some very classic colors but they have been slowly exploring more adventurous colors with each release….
