I haven't rigged nanchuks specifically but I recently did some hand
weapon animations. For nanchuks you can try the hide/unhide trick.
There will probably be 2 nanchuks, one for each hand.
One nanchuk will be contstrained to one hand, and one stick to the
other hand. When the nanchuk passes from one hand to the other you
hide/unhide. Make sure the sticks and chain line up properly so theres
not visual popping. If the nanchuks flip through the air or if he grabs
the sticks with both hands (ala bruce lee pose), you might need another
rigged nanchuk with the skeleton eminating from the center of the
sticks, or the metal chain linking the sticks to be specific.
There are a bunch of other tricks and workarounds. They usually have to
do with adding levels of animated hierarchy and constraints. Hopefully
this might get you one the right track.
