Do pickaxes, felling axes, torches count as weapons for perks?

There are formation perks like "Keep your eyes open" and Position perks such as "Way of the Gnome" that give bonuses if the gnome does or does not have a (melee) weapon equipped.
I know that shields count as weapons, but what about tools such as mentioned in the title, or improvised weapons such as a wheelbarrow or even furniture that happens to be carried?
Best Answer
Yes. Improvised weapons use brawling skill. I think they count as blunt weapons. Torches are weapons. Tools are also weapons, using axe or hammer skill.
