I had the same question myself when I first saw the card, and I decided it's not one. The glossary defines Weapons as Swords, Spears, Axes, Maces, Bows, Daggers and Clubs, in addition to things actually marked as Weapons. Thingies are defined as Items that don't fit into other categories. Seeing as Weapon is a category, a Thingy is not a Weapon.

The Hands section on page 16 of the rules also mentions that there are weapons "and other things" that require Hands, so being 1-Handed does not make it a Weapon either. In fact, now that I look through my database, it is the only thing that uses Hands that isn't a Weapon, which makes the point even stronger as there would be no 'other things' otherwise.
