Jun 14, 2012 at 18:06 comment added HJRW Oh, I see that Lee Mosher wrote something similar in a comment below. The bottom line is that there is a huge bestiary of groups of cohomological dimension two.
Jun 14, 2012 at 18:02 comment added HJRW Or any Baumslag--Solitar group (presentation $\langle a,b\mid ba^mb^{-1}=b^n\rangle$ ).
Jun 14, 2012 at 16:22 comment added Misha A concrete example: Take figure 8 knot (or any nontrivial 2-bridge knot). Then the fundamental group of the complement is 2-generated and has cohomological dimension 2.
