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.

A peek into the history of the Sailor Pen Company and a review of the Sailor Pro Gear Apre Ski from the Cocktail Series

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.
