Yes it can but you need to first dip the 27'' knife into the paint and stir it,preferably red paint so then it looks like there's blood on it.

For a knife that size you have to line up 30 ducks in a row

i can just see 2 gangs of about 12 blokes come together   one group take out there knifes all diferent sizes 3 to 15'' double blade special edges but not the ivory ones.   and the other group pull out paint brushes from 1'' 'to 12''  some sash cutters some oval cutters all mixed. the group with the knifes say to the other group ,what sort of protection have you got , and a bloke from the paint group says your house gets 10 years protection with this exterior paint. wont peel resist the rain the sun and even blood stains.mmmm

As lyndal said the bots have picked up the word "ivory" hence the removal and 3 day suspension.  It's a waste of time emailing ebay as most of the time the answer to your email has nothing at all to do with your questionSmiley Indifferent  I would be on the phone right now demanding to speak to an Australian Supervisor (will still have a non-Australian accent) and stating in no uncertain terms that your listings be reinstated and your suspension squashed.

Put the knife issue aside this ban on old ivory items is a load of carp ( not only ebay but worldwide)   While thankful this practice of taking ivory  has legally  ceased & rightfully so the poor animal died decades if not  100s of years ago so lets appreciate the item for what  it is. If you imported  a piano with ivory keys from Japan  they made you remove the key tops & then replace with plastic. Crazy!!! What about all the old pianos on ebay for sale   Looked at a few & all had ivory keys ( I know what to look for as I am a piano tuner) So is it against ebay policy to sell these?? What is to gain from removing the keytops.  Just more of the worlds craziness !!!

I sold some WW2 Hitler youth knives a while back too.

i had to stop selling them because they had a Swastika on them.

i thought I was selling historical curios, but got lambasted by eBay by selling "nazi related material".

If you type Nazi into eBay, you get a lot of hits, try it.
