BB Leather Craft Extra-Long Japanese Ueki Shears Holster U4-2 - 3.5 to 4 Sun / Matte Black

OVERVIEW & PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
A specialized extra-deep single-pocket matte black genuine leather holster engineered specifically for long-bladed Japanese gardening shears (植木鋏 / Ueki Shears), featuring an ergonomic flat-base curved pocket profile designed for effortless tool insertion and retrieval.

Handcrafted in Japan by BB Leather Craft, the U4-2 (Extra-Long Ueki Shears Holster Model in Matte Black) is custom-proportioned for professional Japanese garden craftsmen, topiary specialists, and landscapers who use extended long-blade shears with blade lengths of 3.5 sun to 4 sun (approx. 105mm to 120mm blades). It is the ideal holster for popular long models such as the Okatsune Long 90, ARS U-600L, and long-necked Tsushima-style shears.

The hallmark feature of the U4-2 is its structurally flat-base curved pocket opening (台曲がり形状). This flat-bottomed contoured shape prevents pocket collapsing under daily wear, guiding long, slender blades into place effortlessly ("収めやすさ") without catching on internal seams or leather edges. The sleek matte black finish conceals sap and job-site grime effortlessly while matching modern work gear.

HOW TO CARE FOR LEATHER
Treat periodically with high-quality leather conditioner or black leather cream to maintain suppleness, color depth, and water resistance. Brush away sap, plant resin, and organic debris from inside the deep pocket to preserve smooth drawing action.
