The SRD only gives a means to determine costs and weights of weapons for Large and Small versions based on the Medium weapons. Any other supplied values are the author's best determination.

The sasumata has reach. You can strike opponents 10' away with it, but you can't use it against an adjacent foe.

A wielder who hits a creature of the same size or one step smaller with a samusata can immediately initiate a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opporunity. In addition to the normal options available to a grappler, the wielder of the sasumata can attempt to pull his target to the ground (the equivalent of a trip attack, though no attack roll is necessary).

The sasumata is a dull crescent-moon blade placed atop a long pole designed to capture opponents with a minimum of harm.
