DM's of post apocalyptic campaigns love to inflict high tech artifact and relic melee weapons on their players. The thrills of seeing the 'ohs' and 'ahh''s is very strong in old school campaigns. This issue of Wisdom From the Wastelands adds a bit more spice to the relics.
According to Drivethrurpg :
Although most Ancients considered melee weapons like swords, axes, maces, spears, and even exotic ranged weapons such as bolas and shuriken to be archaic, some did practice the use of such weapons, and there were inevitably high-tech versions of them. This issue deals with these modern melee weapons, describes alternate methods of creating them, and introduces some new weapons.

What the issue presents is all of the additional odds and ends that make a weapon memorable. Do you want a blade that's laser etched, how about one constructed from high tech synthetic diamond? And even weird combinations of all of the myriad details that go into weapon construction.
