I think its called a Double Lead screw.

double thread (that's the mystery part). Threads start near the head at 180 
degrees apart and wind down the shank. It makes a very
tight thread spacing. Have any of you seen such a screw? And what is that 
double thread officially called? The counter men at my
first two hardware stores thought I was a little crazy, even with the old rusty 
screw in hand.
