It can be.

A weapon is an object that is used to inflict or threaten bodily harm or death on another human. Many objects can be used as weapons. Alternately, these same objects can be used as tools.

For example, a smallbore pistol is sporting equipment when used to make holes in targets at an Olympic range. The same pistol will be a weapon should it be used to hold up a convenience store.

In the same vein, a knife is a kitchen utensil, but if it is used to stab someone it will be classified as a weapon by the court and the perpetrator will be charged with armed assault.
