This will probably be my level 40 build for Kusarigama.
A Kusarigama is a weapon that apparently actually existed - a scythe chained to an iron ball. In CO, Scythe is an option for blades, and shuriken has the chained kunai adv. I decided that was close enough for me.
The main functional idea of this toon is to combine Scything Blade with Massacre (which has an adv to give bonus damage on a bleeding target).
Quarry could be replaced with Way of the Warrior or Unstoppable (both Massacre and Shuriken should proc the energy return for Unstoppable). I decided to go with Quarry because it ranks up better than the other two, and I love Fair Game with Eye of the Storm.
There is no Dragon attack for the Rush buff, so most of my attacks are cheap on energy.
There isn't much from Archery, as this will be a Brawler build (shuriken is actually buffed by Brawler). I put in Gas Arrow because it has some non-damage functionality while being cool for the theme. It could be replaced, one recommendation would be a block enhancer.
This build has some dodge/aversion stacking, and I will probably gear a dodge/avoidance primary defense item, rotating as needed.
The build would be somewhat difficult to level until you get to 17, so if you have the GP on another toon, you might want to switch the base to dual blades and then retcon at 17.

EDIT: I'm up to level 20 with this. I moved shuriken throw to 14, TBL to 20, BCR to 23 and Masterful Dodge to 35. This is much better. The toon has been very effective in T2 PvP cage - I can see teleporters and have crippling challenge.
