All a handheld weapon is is something to extend your normal swing range... thusly anything from a spatula to a car antenna to something more sturdy like a baseball bat could easily be considered a household weapon. The entire principle of a sword is simply to extend the range and ease with which you can deal damage.
Once you get some weight behind it like in a chair or a sledgehammer you can really cause some damage but you loose the finer control. This would be more like a midevil mace weapon.
As far as household weapons go... I've been a big fan of yardstick fencing in the past. Theres no way it would hold up in a serious fight though.
