Threatened area on double-chained kama?

[RumpinRufus]

The description of a double-chained kama reads:

Spoiler:

This weapon comprises a pair of kama connected with an 8-foot length of chain. The wielder can attack as if armed with a single kama in each hand or extend the chain to make a single reach attack. By swinging the rope, the wielder can whip the kama about to disarm or trip opponents. Furthermore, if one of the weapons is dropped, the wielder can retrieve as a free action by pulling on the chain.

Does the character wielding it threaten both adjacent and reach, because he can make a melee attack at both ranges? Or would he somehow only threaten one or the other range depending on how it is being held?

It would depend on how it's held.

Not rules-related:

With that said, there are some fun possibilities with the related feats...

[RumpinRufus]

Which related feats?

Re: Feats:

Whoops, was thinking of a different adjustable-reach weapon (the dwarven chain-flail, or dorn-dergar). Sorry!
