It usually means either: your skill level of your particular profession isn't high enough to craft that item, or that it can only be used by someone with a different profession (common with a lot of the engineering items).

When you mouseover the item (if it's something you're trying to equip/use) you'll notice a statement at the bottom - "requires engineering 250" or somesuch.

Hi Stonerwow, what could be your problem is weapon skill training.

If you mouse over the item, you will notice that besides the One-hand / Two-Hand text it says Sword, since the item is such. If that text shows in red, you have not trained Swords skill at the Weapon Master.

Might that be it? Hope it solves your problem, hope you write back to report if it helped out :).

What NameAlreadyExists said. If you click on your portrait on the hotbar, and click on the tab that says "skills" you will see a list of all your weapon proficiencies. If for example "Two-handed sword" is not on the list, you will not be able to equip one.

Go to your nearest town, ask a guard for a weapon trainer, and get trained in any proficiencies you are missing. Not all trainers can train all proficiencies, but there will be a conversation icon with the trainer in which he will list all the other trainers you can go to and what they teach.

For Horde, the weaponmaster that teaches sword skills is in Undercity, in the War quarter.
