[General Cyberpunk] Are there any cyberpunk settings that feature high-tech swords that aren't katanas?

Like, say, a Longsword or a Messer? In a setting with vibroblades and superalloys, could the cruciform guard of a longsword give it some advantage in a duel against another melee weapon?

System shock uses an electric rapier.

The cruciform guard can be useful depending on circumstances(for instance, I'd say Kylo Ren's guard is more useful offensively than defensively because you don't catch a sword directly on the guard and lightsabers don't slide.)
