BB Leather Craft Extra-Long Japanese Ueki Shears Holster with Swivel Loop U4-1T - 3.5 to 4 Sun

OVERVIEW & PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
A high-mobility, extra-deep single-pocket genuine leather swivel holster engineered specifically for long-bladed Japanese gardening shears (植木鋏 / Ueki Shears), featuring an ergonomic flat-base curved pocket profile combined with a dynamic swivel loop for maximum maneuverability.

Handcrafted in Japan by BB Leather Craft, the U4-1T (Extra-Long Ueki Shears Swivel Holster Model) is custom-proportioned for professional Japanese garden craftsmen, topiary specialists, and arborists 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 U4-1T is its structurally flat-base curved pocket opening (台曲がり形状) paired with a heavy-duty metal swivel bracket. The flat-bottomed contoured shape prevents pocket collapsing under daily wear, guiding long blades into place effortlessly ("収めやすさ") without catching on leather edges. Meanwhile, the swivel mount allows the long sheath to sway fluidly with your body movement, preventing extended tool handles from digging into your thigh or torso while stooping, squatting, or climbing ladders.
