BB Leather Craft Japanese Ueki Shears Holster with Swivel Loop U3-2T - 2.5 to 3 Sun / Matte Black

OVERVIEW & PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
A high-mobility, single-pocket matte black genuine leather swivel holster engineered specifically for traditional long-bladed Japanese gardening shears (植木鋏 / Ueki Shears), combining a structural base-plated pocket with a dynamic swivel loop for maximum maneuverability.

Handcrafted in Japan by BB Leather Craft, the U3-2T (Ueki Shears Swivel Holster Model in Matte Black) is tailor-made for professional Japanese garden craftsmen, topiary specialists, and arborists who utilize classic long-bladed Ueki shears with blade lengths of 2.5 sun to 3 sun (approx. 75mm to 90mm blades, overall lengths around 210mm to 240mm).

The key feature of the U3-2T is its structurally reinforced base plate (台付) design paired with a heavy-duty metal swivel bracket. The base plate keeps the pocket mouth rigidly open for effortless, snag-free drawing and re-sheathing ("取出しやすさ・収めやすさ"), while the swivel mount allows the holster to sway fluidly with your body movement. This prevents long tool handles from digging into your thigh or torso while stooping, squatting, or working on ladders. The sleek matte black cowhide hides sap and daily job-site grime effortlessly.

*Sizing Note: For Tsushima-style shears (津島型) with a 3-sun blade length, a larger holster (3.5 to 4 sun size) is recommended due to their extended neck/handle neck ratio.
