The blades I have are about 2-3/4" to almost 3" long on the edge. Does anyone make a 2" edge (no smile) with a spike point at both the toe and the heel?

Sounds downright dangerous to me. I have never seen such a razor of any length. I imagine you might be able to get one of the custom makers to do one if you really wanted it.
I think I've seen some Tosuke razors that seem to meet that criteria, but you didn't mention if you need it to fold. :D
If you do, I'd hit up a custom maker.
Can you give us a pic or diagram of what you're thinking of?
If I may ask, why would you want a spike point heel? When you shave, do you shave with passes that are always perpendicular to your face rather than leading with the heel?

I've been wondering about a double spike myself. A short blade might look something like this below. The shoulder would have to be quite slanted from the spine to give a spike at the heel. My concern with this is that it would be considerably easier to nick your thumb on the heel spike.
I suspect his is a job for the custom razor makers here.

I hadn't thought about the thumb but I would think it would be a lot easier to knick your face with a 2" or even longer blade with a spike at both ends. :shrug:
