Zen-Wu Y-2 鑿
Y-2は、Zen-Wuの白紙炭素鋼（ZW-C2）を軸に作った西洋式の汎用鑿（ベンチチゼル）で、サブゼロ処理を複数回組み込んだ熱処理により64 HRCとしています。合金元素も不純物も最小限に抑えた伝統的な炭素鋼の組成を、現代の熱処理で刃持ちと靱性の面から仕上げています。
クラシックなデザインで、切刃も刃裏も完全に平坦です。鑿本体には、形を整えた親指当てと、手が自然に握る位置の角を落とした逃げを設けています。突き削りや叩き作業を長く続けるときに効いてくる部分です。刃長5-1/8インチ（130mm）、柄長5-1/2インチ（140mm）、全長10-5/8インチ（270mm）。出荷時は切刃30度、平らに研いだ状態で、そのまま削れます。柄は古木の再利用材であるred ring-cupped oakです。
Y-1 鑿の後継モデルです。Y-1はZW-C1を63.5 HRCで使用していましたが、Y-2はZW-C2を64 HRCに高めています。
1/2インチと3/4インチはストーンウォッシュ仕上げではないため、他のサイズよりも黒みが強く仕上がります。鋼材も研ぎも同じです。

"I originally ordered a replacement plane Iron for my # 6 wood river plane. It turned it into a wonderful plane cutting 0. 5 mil shavings. That prompted me to buy the chisels that were perfectly flat backs and sharp out of the box. I have not done much with them yet other Han make a wall holder for them."
"My 6mm chisel is blunt after four strokes. I sharpen and repeat blunt again. I spent so much money and it’s much worse than Japanese steel."
"I have had my two Y2 chisels for about a month now and my experience with them has been very good. I can sharpen them to a mirror polish, they maintain their edge well, and were a significant upgrade to my last chisels. The handles are also quite comfortable. The packaging was memorable; I thought it was done very nicely. Critiques (that do not merit removal of stars): 1. I was rather hoping they would be subtilely labeled. 2. Shipping price significantly inflated the price, although it was very expedient and well communicated. 3. Minor finishing differences between the two I purchased. 4. One of the chisel’s steel is very slightly softer than the other. I would still buy them again."
"I bought a set of the Y-2 chisels, and I am very impressed. Even the attention to detail on the packaging was impressive! These things were razor-sharp out of the box, and they’re super sharp, still. The backs were flat, the handles were perfect in my hand, and the aesthetics are amazing as well. I’ll eventually add a set of the X-2’s, just because I want them and that leather chisel pouch, but that’s for another day. That’s no knock on these, because they will definitely get the job done! That’s a Lie Nielsen 3/4” chisel in the pic with them in case someone’s wondering about size / hand fit."
"Incredible edge retention. Beautifully balanced. I love this chisel."
"I purchased the 5/8" Y-2 chisel. The quality out of the box was amazing. It was sharp, and the back was flat; no work was needed to get it ready to use. I will continue to purchase their products."
"This blows my mind. I havent used many top tier chissels before. Only sharpened medium quality chisels myself to an razor edge. But this!!!. . . . Razor sharp out of the box! Almost so that it splits hair mid air! Easy to maintain said egde by simply polish quickly on leatherstrop with compund. Takes a beating without hurting the edge. Good design. I wish octagonal handles were an option as either an option, or as replacement-handles."
"Chisels arrived very quickly and again were very sharp and only requires stropping before use. I cannot recommend these enough because the cut better than any other chisel I've used."
"Some of the nicest chisels I have used and the easiest to set up for work. . . just a quick hone and you are off to the races. . . I like the balance and size of them as well, highly recomend"
"Thank you for reaching out. I purchased the chisel based on the excellent review in Fine Wood Working. I was disappointed by the finish on the back. It took much longer to flatten than expected and there remains a mark that would require a lot of work to remove. I was considering a 1/2" chisel but that's on hold for now. I will reconsider the purchase after using this chisel more. Thanks, Alan."
