basically since this is a double weapon, it would be used most likely by characters with high enough dex to use 2 weapon fighting feats . now since that is one step from making a dex build, and when used in close range this weapon is treated as fighting with a kama in each hand(light weapon, slashing). can one use it with the finesse & slashing grace feats? if so. will the dex for attack & damage be used only in close range or will the reach attack be effected as well? as this weapon also can be used for tripping and has the trip special weapon property(+2 to trip,which bay raw also goes for repositioning and dragging) and weapon finesse allow for dex to be used with finesse-able weapons for tripping\disarming. will it be used here as well? (in real life) i had one GM saying the dex for attack and damage is only in close range, and an other who let me use it for all attacks with the weapon.the 2nd one claimed that when you use it as a reach weapon, since it has no rigid shaft but a chain you toss back and forth it is used more like a thrown weapon or a whip then a normal 2 handed weapon that uses brute str to maneuver.and those dex would suit it better anyway. EDIT: ha just noticed..the ninja in the forum picture up above(2nd guy from the left) is using this weapon

When using it for the single reach attack, the double chained kama is treated as a two-handed weapon. When fighting normally, it's as though you were using two kamas. So you could finesse the two kamas used in close quarters, but not the reach attack(since it's a two-handed weapon in that usage).

sound reasonable. id also add that in that case when used to trip.even in close range if you want the +2 of the trip weapon ability you use the str. since it mentioned that the tripping is done via the chain. not the kama which by itself does not have the trip weapon ability. and the chain is not a one handed finesse-able weapon.(one can try and trip normally with the kama but without the added +2 to the maneuver, but add his dex if using finesse. or used the +2 and add str to roll.)
