To enter you'll need to click the 'Like' button on the Schmuckatelli Co. Facebook page and use the 'Share' option on the giveaway promotion post that will be put up on their page, so that it shows up on your Facebook page.  If you don't already have a Facebook page, you can register here, then enter the giveaway.

Make sure your Facebook privacy settings for liking the page and sharing the post are 'Public', so that your entry by 'Like' and 'Share' will be able to be seen and verified by Schmuckatelli Co. and you have a chance to win.  If you have Facebook settings for sharing the post set to 'Private', your name won't be visible to the folks on the Schmuckatelli page, so make sure it's set to 'Public'.

There are some rules for this giveaway along with the 'Like' and 'Share' requirements since pocket knives are part of the prize packages. Only one entry per person, entrants must be at least 18 years of age and be a US resident, and if you win the 1st or 2nd prize packages, be able to legally own/possess the knives where you live.

At the end of the giveaway entry period, Schmuckatelli Co. will draw names from the pool of entrants and the winners will be posted on the Schmuckatelli Co. Facebook page, and they will have one week to reply/respond, or alternate winners will be chosen.  After contact with the winners has been established, their prize package will be mailed out to them.  Good luck to all and happy knotting!

I started using the Schmuckatelli pewter 'Classic' skull beads with some paracord projects back in 2005 and have been a fan ever since.  I've used them with knot work in a lot of my blog and online forums posts, and would often add them by customer request when I used to actively tie and sell some knot work.

Schmuckatelli Co. has continued to grow, providing many more new and exceptional designs, materials, and available finishes, to up the cool factor and let folks add a bit of bling to their own creative knotting projects.  I've enjoyed reading the neat back stories they have for the different beads, and keep looking forward to see what they come out with next.  If you're not familiar with Schmuckatelli Co., give their website and Facebook pages a visit and check 'em out.

And international folks need not get bent out of shape on the 'US resident' rule for this giveaway, as Schmuckatelli Co. plans to do an 'international only' giveaway for their fans later this summer. ;)

Here's a link for some blog posts I've done with Schmuckatelli beads, for some knotty projects you might want to try if you haven't done so before.  Get some cord and dress up your knot work, lanyards, fobs, wrist/shoulder/guitar straps, walking sticks, canes, hiking staffs, tomahawks, hatchets, EDC pocket knives, fixed blades, machetes, sheaths, bracelets, multitools, flashlights, bags, pouches, backpacks, luggage, zippers, gadgets, gear, gizmos, key chains/keyrings, and whatnot, etc., so forth and so on. :)

2nd prize:
