The 12” wok is hand forged and finished from 14ga steel, and each wok requires thousands of hammer blows still evident in the piece while still retaining a smooth glossy surface required for ideal wok cooking conditions. I hand forge and finish one at a time in my blacksmith studio in Bakersville, North Carolina. I have been studying the wok-forging art form for several years; each piece is an improvement upon the last, and I strive to improve with every hammer blow. Due to the hand forging process, each wok is unique. I aim to forge the 12" wok to a depth of 3.0", and I leave 3.5" flat as the base of the wok. These measurements can vary, but as each piece is hand-forged individually, I can forge the material to your custom specifications. The workpiece begins as a disk and is hot forged at 1750 degrees into the circular bowl of a swedge block. After the hot forging is finished, I begin the long process of cold working the material to planish the surface. This not only hardens the carbon steel but also polishes the surface to a silver finish. The cold forging refines the workpiece and creates the clean and graceful lines and curves that define modern and historical wok. There are two handle styles available, the default handle is also forged from carbon steel and has a flat profile which is very ergonomic in the hand. The other handle has an octagonal cross-section, and some users prefer the smaller cross-section. The handle and loop are carefully forged and free of all forging blemishes to allow for proper cleaning methods. Once the forging is complete, the pan is carefully cleaned and washed in preparation for seasoning. I personally season every pan to a blue-black finish, and while the seasoning process is never-ending the results out-perform any other non-stick pan. Once you have used a wok for stir-frying foods, you’ll never want to use a cast iron again. Woks have been used for thousands of years and still continue to be very popular in restaurants and at home. These pans are ideal for high heat cooking and their unique design captures heat more effectively and allows for even cooking temperatures. My woks are hand forged and finished one at a time in my shop, by working on a small scale, I can focus all of my attention on the forging to guarantee a product that while last far beyond the owner's lifespan. If you are looking for something a bit different than what you are able to find online, let me know, and I will be happy to forge custom pans to your exact specifications. The entire wok is customizable, so if you are looking for a particular size, handle style, or loop design, please contact me for more information.

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.
