I have a wok that looks the same. took a while but love its nonstickness now. my only other carbon steel is a nice heavy comal I think I got just last year. I have a couple stainless all clad frying pans that I really love, but if I hadn't invested in them I would be wanting carbon steel, hardly every use the cast iron anymore. too heavy but just the ticket for a few things, especially my big 14 incher. makes a TON of food.
