It may not be the end of summer, but the Hogwarts Express is waiting beyond Platform 9 3/4 (click the link!) to take you on a trip reviewing the Montegrappa Harry Potter Gryffindor fountain pen.

Esterbrook is on fire right now in the fountain pen world, and it’s not hard to see why. They’ve got a whole new rebranded campaign and they’ve partnered with nibmeister Gena Salorino (Custom Nib Studio) for a special “journaler” nib grind that’s only available through them (or, ostensibly, through a special grind request to Gena directly).

In this entry, I take a brief look at the history of the Esterbrook brand and dive into the review of the Esterbrook “Estie” Honeycomb Fountain Pen.
