Forged beta titanium gladius for sale. Hilted to resemble a bee, it's made with a full tang into the pommel and is extremely strong.
It's being sold warts and all: the leather on the guard has some marks and "dents," and the blade has some very minor smudging/scratches on its flanks: it's not pristine, but it is nice and new.
Interested buyers, see the build thread for this sword for lots more pics, including videos:
