Hi everyone, Google and Facebook considers my website and product (knives) to be a prohibited item, so we can’t advertise. I was wondering if anyone has a found a way around this such as advertising a separate domain or landing page or other such strategy?

Do not use paid ads. Let your sites SEO word for you for free.

Use a survival, cooking, or similar landing page, offer up some advice, sell the knives.

Via paid advertising to that landing page? Or? I need to know how to transfer from paid ad, to a visitor on landing page and eventually to my real store

Yeah, paid ads to a survival or cooking-based landing page, create content and copy based around what they would be using the knives for, educate them, highlight the problem, then sell the knives as the solution.

Alright so their primary use is self defense but can be used for utility. How do we go from them landing on that camping and survival page to saying “this is what they really can do” regarding self defense?

"How To Protect Yourself If <Impossible Situation>" on the landing page, reveal the impossible situation on the next page, and use your thank you page as the sales letter. Then follow up through email for anyone that didn't take on the thank you page / sales letter. Retarget after.
