The fish was a bit off. I’m fine with that, just need to educate myself more on how to get the wok seasoned correctly….my first ‘real’ wok.

A Smithey Factory Second may have minor cosmetic imperfections that do not affect the cooking quality of the cookware in any way These may include polishing imperfections, minor porosity, stray grinding marks, or seasoning imperfections.
The wok, like the cast iron skillet, is an iconic cooking tool for millions of people across a diverse array of cuisines around the world. While woks today tend to be mass produced from cheaply stamped metal, there is a rich legacy of artisan wok design – the work of the Cen brothers in Shanghai comes to mind - that combined beauty, function and longevity. The Smithey wok seeks to honor this legacy, with a stunning hammered form optimized for the modern home cook. Utilizing a lighter weight carbon steel, this pre-seasoned wok weighs around 3 lbs. and is designed for high heat cooking and lots of movement. The flat bottom ensures stability and surface contact across a range of heat sources from gas to induction to electric, while the functional depth makes it ideal for everything from classic stir fries to sautéing, steaming, boiling, even light frying. Crafted by artisan blacksmiths on the old naval base in Charleston, SC and guaranteed for life, we think you’ll fall in love with this one. Use it well.

Given the long handle and relatively small base, the pan is not balanced and tends to tip very easily. We find we have to move it incrementally across the burner grate to find a “sweet spot” so that stays upright. Unsure if this is a factory defect of design flaw. If this is the reason it is a factory second, it should not have been sold as one might grab a hot handle if it tips.
Very disappointed after previously purchasing a wonderful cast iron skillet.
Looks good, I haven’t used it yet
Was a first, not a second!
Wobbly.
