Like many people in Minnesota, I bought my Athame at the Minnesota Rennaisance Festival years ago.  It is a true piece of craftsmanship. Unfortunately, these folks were unable to continue to have a booth at fest, and we were without a supplier of custom ritual blades.  Well, the good news is, that this year (2009), they are officially back doing custom work through an online store. Of course, we have added them to our Artist Website Links. Here's the description from their website:

Omega Artworks is owned and operated by Gary and Suzy Zahradka. All work is done by us in our studio in St. Paul, Minnesota. For over 25 years we have been designing unique and original swords, knives and sculpture. We offer a wide range of options for custom designed swords and knives, but also maintain an inventory of items you can purchase today!

Our objective is to combine beauty with functionality — to create a work of art that is beautiful to the eye, thrilling to the hand and inspiring to the imagination. As you look through our website let you imagination go, then contact us and let us know what you are thinking.

We're thankful to see they are working again!

I also have to mention that there is also a Pagan Forge which has been firing up the forge, training up apprentices, and creating ritual tools which you may have seen at various festivals or at Pagan Pride.  Founded and guided by long-time priest and smith Ken Ra, it's called Underhill, and we will be doing a full feature on them in the coming months.
