Holiday Gift Ideas for the Fencer
Written by Craig Harkins   
Monday, 30 November 2009
What to get for your fencing enthusiast?

We've pulled together a bunch of gift ready items that delight the fencer and are the things that fencers don't often buy for themselves (since they are busy buying new blades or grips.)

I often find myself looking at the gift ideas and thinking - "Well, after I rewire that blade and switch out my bells, I'll see about getting that calendar." That's why my wife buys the gifts for me - I'll be much too practical about it!

The new book Image of Fencing features great photos and is the first fencing coffee table book. Keep track of the tournament schedule with the 2010 Fencing Calendar. We also have the Fencing T Shirt for the fencer that needs to express their individuality outside of the salle.

black fencing t-shirt
This T Shirt comes just in time for Black Friday
Hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving!

This Black Friday we're launching two of our newest products just for the holiday shopping season.  The black 'coaching' t and the Fencing.Net black hoodie.

The black t-shirt uses a metallic silver ink for the logo instead of our standard white printing.  The effect is pretty nice.  We have referred to this as our 'coaching' shirt since black is traditionally the color for use by fencing coaches, but anyone can wear this.

Read on after the jump to see the new hoodie and some other gift ideas.
