After reading the codex have a couple minor close combat weapon questions... I know that Singing Spear used to say two handed weapon, I had always assumed that Eldrad's Staff of Ulthamar was two handed but it never really said... Now the reason for my question is that in the codex it DOES specifically say that the Executioner IS a two handed weapon and that Jain Zair's special Executioner (can't remember the name) is very light so I believe that since it does not say on Singing Spear, Staff, Jain Zair's spear that these are all one handed meaning that you would get the bonus for an extra CC weapon....
What is everyone's consensus on them? I would like to hear... I am assuming this will be an argument until it is FAQed... Cheers all

No argument possible. Melee weapons are not "handed" unless told otherwise, and so the defualt of 2 melee (non-specialist, or 2 specialist) will grant an additional attack applies

Nos is right; and to add, the rules that may prevent you from gaining the bonus attack are "Two-Handed" or "Specialist" (although you can still get a bonus if, as Nos mentioned, you have two Specialist weapons). A weapon without either of those labels can be used with another weapon to get the bonus attack.

Provided they have a second applicable weapon. (Many of those models/examples listed earlier do not have such)

Actually not true, all Farseers and Warlocks have shuriken pistol, Eldrad has witchblade, shuriken and Staff, Jain Zair has shuriken pistol, mod executioner and modified triskele, so yeah they all DO have 2 cc weapons..
