Overview
bmac is a Japanese scissors brand founded in 2002. The parent company is Kabushiki Kaisha Mac (株式会社マック), and the brand maintains a US office in Oak Brook, Illinois. According to bmac, the company’s chairman Shigeru Fujita oversees the design process with a focus on ergonomics, cutting speed, and durability.

Product Range
bmac produces cutting scissors, thinning scissors, and left-handed scissors. The brand lists specialties including blunt cutting, slide cutting, dry cutting, texturizing, blending, and creative cutting.
A notable feature of bmac scissors is the contact point mechanism. The brand offers three types: the Spinning Contact Point Mechanism (Japanese Utility Model Registration No. 3120056), the Silky Contact Point Mechanism (Japanese Patent No. 4099416), and the standard Flat Contact Point Mechanism. According to bmac, the Spinning mechanism uses a disk-shaped contact point with a flanged ball bearing. The Silky mechanism uses resin packing between the blades to reduce metal friction and seal out hair debris.
bmac also promotes its proprietary “Super Gold 2” steel. According to the brand, this material is produced using powder metallurgy, which atomizes molten steel into fine grains for more uniform distribution in the base material.
Distribution
bmac scissors are available through the brand’s own online store and several third-party retailers including Begley Schmit, Kittemi, and Refun. The US office is located in Oak Brook, Illinois. Pricing falls in the mid range for professional scissors.
