The lengths on the sword in your link don't seem to match - 38 3/4" overall, 29 3/4" blade. Is your 49" the same as in the link, or just similar?
Anyway, I am short (5'6") with relatively short arms to match. The solution I've found for drawing longer blades from a back slung sheath (and hip is just flat out not going to work) is to set it so that it rests lower on your back. With your off hand, reach behind and lift the sheath so that the hilt can be grasped by your on hand, then release the sheath from your off hand. This should give you enough clearance to draw the weapon cleanly.
