    was just wondering where in the game i could find this particular weapon and who or what i'd have to kill to get it. And also can someone give me an example of this weapon if possible. Thanks

    There's no such weapon in this game, sorry. There are several kinds of swords, but they're all single-bladed. Longswords, two-handed swords, bastard swords, scimitars, cutlasses and rapiers, those are all the sword types in the game.

    There's a problem getting magical ones or even masterwork ones to enchant. So far, I've only seen one magical longsword, one magical scimitar, one masterwork longsword, one masterwork two-handed sword and one masterwork scimitar so far as swords are concerned. Although I haven't finished the game, I've been to all shops. I guess something will be there as treasure, but the prospect still looks bleak, as Mystra would say ;)

    Why use a two-bladed sword when you can have the much cooler spiked chain? Whack, smack, and pull it back!

    There's a long list of weapons in the manual, but a lot of them aren't actually available. No saps, tridents, or halberds. The lack of halberds is especially painful, since the halberd combines piercing and slashing.

    Chevalier is right about the dearth of masterwork or magical weapons, especially for the obscure types (spiked chain! spiked chain!). As recommended in countless other posts, install the nifty Circle of Eight patch to get access to masterwork versions of all the game's weaponry.

    Why use a two-bladed sword? Because I'm interested in as to what it looks like and how it performs and such.

    And I do have the Circle of Eight patch btw.
