There's an item description on one of those type of weapons (a silver one, maybe) that indicates it increases your 'status' with others, or something, so maybe they were meant to increase affinity when you carry them around town?

That'll give me something to do tonight. Save the game, see how many gifts it takes to get the affinity chime from an NPC, Godsbane, equip a gold weapon and see if it takes fewer gifts to get the chime.
