The article discusses the weapon measures according to early documents. How about the weapon used today? I find two manufacturers/shops that sell Isshin-ryu kusarigama: http://www.geocities.com/vshibata/kusarigama.html and http://www25.tok2.com/home2/banessa/newfile2.htm They show measures 39cm for handle and 31cm for blade: 6cm and 1cm bigger than mentioned in the article.
