Esterbrook Niblet Honeycomb Pocket Fountain Pen

The Niblet Honeycomb is a compact pocket fountain pen from Esterbrook, made from a golden amber acrylic with gold trim and a German-made #6 JoWo nib available in extra fine through broad, plus flex and stub.

Esterbrook describes Honeycomb as "a golden warmth that feels like a nostalgic summer afternoon," and the acrylic carries that warmth in swirls of honey and amber. It pairs beautifully with a golden brown or deep amber ink.

Everything you love about the Estie, just smaller. The Niblet keeps the curves and character of its older sibling in a clipless, pocket-sized silhouette that slips into bags, pockets, and pen cases — ideal for daily journaling, quick notes, and travel. Inside is the same German-made #6 JoWo nib found in the Estie line, so nibs are fully interchangeable between the two.

Every Niblet comes in a retro-inspired presentation box with a soft felt pen pouch — a lovely gift for yourself or a fellow pen person. A converter is included, and the pen also takes short standard international cartridges, so you can use bottled ink or cartridges.

Because no two pens share the same pattern, you can choose the exact one you'll receive through our free concierge service. To learn why, read Why No Two Esterbrook Esties Look Exactly Alike.

Nib options

Every Niblet takes the same German-made #6 JoWo steel nib as the Estie, offered in seven sizes:

• Extra Fine (EF)
• Extra Fine Flex (EF Flex)
• Fine (F)
• Fine Flex (F Flex)
• Medium (M)
• Broad (B)
• Stub 1.1

The flex nibs have softer tines that widen the line slightly under pressure. The 1.1 stub has a flat-ground tip that lays down broad downstrokes and thin cross-strokes, which gives ordinary handwriting some character. For help choosing, read our Esterbrook Nib Guide.
