At 50 years of age, I’ve been reminiscing about my great childhood… all of the movies, music and my fascination with ninjas! I watched all of the movies and used to run around my neighborhood at night dressed in black. I’d literally climb on my neighbor’s roofs and in their trees…. try doing that these days! Anyhow, I just ordered the Kouga Ninjato from KOA. I put my name on the waitlist about a month ago and got the notification Wednesday that it was back in stock. I kicked around the idea because I literally just bought a Cold Steel Warrior Wakizashi earlier this week. I went ahead and ordered it and sure enough, a few hours later it was out of stock again. Glad it decided to get it and I’m excited to get it in hand!

I’m with you my friend. I did the same thing back in the day…well not on rooftops at least I don’t remember. Always had stars on me. Good times.
