Product range
Four BMC models are catalogued across cutting and thinning. The cutting range includes the Excalibur ENB-60D, the Excalibur ENA-58D, and the Cynthia. The model names on the Excalibur builds follow a pattern — ENB/ENA for model series and the suffix indicates blade length (58mm and 60mm respectively). The ONE G-20MW is a dedicated thinning shear. Pricing on all four models is being researched; the authoritative source is the retailer carrying BMC for the relevant market.
Buying context
BMC is a Japanese professional scissor brand. The Excalibur naming convention across two blade-length variants and a separate Cynthia model indicates a catalogue that covers at least two size options in its primary cutting line alongside a dedicated thinning build — a practical range structure for professional daily use.
