There we go, it's called a Mahne, German for Mane.

Yeah you're right Kusari-Gama was a sickle and chain but I'd like to see that as a weapon class.

It was an anti-calvary weapon (hence the name). Calvary had a weak point, the purpose of the weapon was to exploit that weakpoint. You didn't even have to put much effort into it, so long as the horse ran into it. As for other ways of using (more applicable ones, you would require a special set of metal shoes (I'll get into that in a moment). Think of a double headed spear, but heavier, and with much larger blades. Due to the weight of it, it would get stuck in the ground, leaving you defenseless, that's where the shoes come into play. You would use them to kick the Mahne upwards to remove it from the floor. I don't have any pictures at the moment. I'll look.

Edit: I made a mistake, it's not an anti-calvary weapon, it is a calvary weapon used to cover it's weak point. Clerical errors D: Damn them. The part about shoes and stuff is for use while not on horseback.

That just sounds like pikemen lining up and brasing against a charge.

It is far from small. Not many people would be capable of wielding it, that is certainly true.

Edit: This is likely the reason it so very difficult to find information on it, let alone a picture (considering my picture is a drawing)
