The Bible Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
The Bible Revelation 1:16
In his right hand he held seven stars, and out of his mouth came a sharp double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance.
The Bible Revelation 2:12
[ To the Church in Pergamum ] "To the angel of the church in Pergamum write:These are the words of him who has the sharp, double-edged sword.
These are the three times it is mentioned.

I've never heard of such a verse. Sounds pretty gruesome...I found some references regarding swords and blood, but I don't think they are what you are looking for:
Isaiah 34:6 describes God's "sword" as being bathed in the blood of sacrifices.
Deuteronomy 32:42 describes God's vengance against his enemies.
There are others, but the only reference I could find about two swords is in Luke 22:38 in the upper room after the Last Supper. The disciples interpreted Christ's words regarding conflict as a call to arms.

Ask the man who used the phrase. "dripping" is not in the KJV. The only two swords I find is when Peter came up with two before the betrayal. Re. 19:13 talks of His vesture (clothes) dipped in blood. Rev 1 and 2 mention a 2 edged sword.

Word searched and don't find anything. Closest match seems:
2Samuel 1:22 From the blood of the slain, from the flesh of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan did not turn back, the sword of Saul did not return unsatisfied.

Tractate Sanhedrin, Herbert Danby tr. [1919], at sacred-texts.com
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
p. 78
T. VIII. 3. ("Merely your own opinion.") With what object is this said? In order that the witness should not (for example) bring forward as evidence: "We saw the defendant with a sword in his hand running after his fellow; the latter thereupon fled into a shop followed by the other; we went in after them and found the one slain, and in the
hand of the murderer was a sword dripping blood." And lest thou shouldst say: "If not he, who then did kill him?" (take warning from the example of) Shimeon, the son of Shatah, who said, "May I not live to see the consolation if I once did not see a man with a sword in his hand running after his fellow; the latter thereupon went into a deserted building followed by the other; I entered after him and found the one slain and a sword in the hand of the murderer dripping blood. I said to him: Wicked man, who slew this one? May I not live to see the consolation if I did not see him; one of us two must have slain him. But what can I do to thee, since your condemnation cannot rest in my hands? For the Law says: AT THE MOUTH OF TWO WITNESSES, OR AT THE MOUTH OF THREE WITNESSES, SHALL HE WHO DIES BE PUT TO DEATH. But he who knows the thoughts, he exacts vengeance from the guilty; for the murderer did not stir from that place before a serpent bit him so that he died."
this appears in the sanhedrin texts. perhaps that is what you were thinking of. Not the bible.
