Twin blade saw

Several years ago I saw a saw on closeout at HD which was unlike any I
have seen before or since. It had two blades side by side like an
electric kitchen knife. Anyone familiar with this oddity?

Nope. Straight blades "like an electric kitchen knife", remember?
Apparently they reciprocated. As best I can remember the blades were
about 18 inches long.

Like this? http://www.michlitch.com/Wellsaw.php Not surprising that
you didn't find it. I believe that it's intended market is the meat
packing industry.

That looks like it, other than the color. Wonder what it was doing on
the closeout table at Home Depot? At least I didn't just dream it. Thanks!

From the sounds of your desc. It sounds like a foam cutting saw ...
Upholstery Trade. Usually set up with a flat base approx 4" X 2" with glides
on base for running along work table. Most common blade length is 12". AFAIK
Bosch are the only firm still making them.

Craftsman had one with two blades. They were suppose to prevent kickback.
The whole saw was recalled for some reason.

You left out the "straight blades" part originally. "Like an electric
kitchen knife" could be interpreted to mean "right next to each other". Was
this saw a stationary tool like a table saw or band saw or a portable tool
like a reciprocating saw?
