Sur La Table has the Sur La Table 14" Carbon Steel Wok on sale for $29.96 [surlatable.com]. Regular price $44.95.

This wok had not been on sale since well before the holidays.

Free store pickup if in stock near you. Shipping is $7.99 unless you spend another $45 to get free shipping on $75 plus (you'd also get 15% off $75 by signing up for their email coupon).

This is the NYTimes Wirecutter's top all-around pick for woks [nytimes.com]. It is similar to the Joyce Chen 14" carbon steel wok that sometimes goes on sale for around this price at Macy's [macys.com], with a wide, flat bottom and two wooden handles, but the handles on the Sur La Table model are superior.

This is a large, lightweight, unseasoned carbon steel wok. You'll need to scrub off the protective coating and then spend about 1/2-hour seasoning it yourself, but you have to do most of that with "pre-seasoned" woks anyway.
If you purchase something through a post on our site, Slickdeals may get a small share of the sale.

I have a 12" nonstick, a 12" cast iron, a 12" carbon steel, a 12" stainless-clad, AND a 14" carbon steel wok (do I have a problem?). I agree that the carbon steel pan and wok can be used to cook the same things, but the difference in quantity capacity is massive. For some things like fried noodles, the carbon steel skillet is perfectly fine. For fried rice or other multi-step stir-fries where perhaps you push ingredients aside and add the egg or other ingredients in stages, the wok makes a huge difference. And while it's flat bottom, the flat part is only half the surface area of the skillet, which enables you to have hotter (bottom) and cooler (sides) zones of cooking.
Is this Uncle Roger approved?
Completely disagree with this, "basically a pan with higher ridges" couldn't be more wrong. As excellent wok cookbook author J. Kenji Lopez-Alt says, "it's the most versatile pan in your kitchen."

You can deep fry in it. You can pop popcorn in it. You can braise in it. You can blanch broccoli/cauliflower/whatever, dump out the water, oil it, and stir fry directly afterwards in the same pan for perfect crispy stir fried veggies. And good luck trying to make evenly cooked fried rice without making a complete mess, while it's a breeze and a joy to toss in a wok.

If anything cooking only for one makes it an even better addition to your arsenal, you're not supposed to crowd a wok so being able to do small portions is an advantage.

That's non sick coating and it won't do well on high heat. It will flake off abs release fumes. Consider cancelling it.

I agree with avoiding non-stick coatings, but I think you're wrong about this one. The description says it requires seasoning to be nonstick, ie NOT a synthetic nonstick coating as you suggest:

PRE-SEASONED & NONSTICK: Todlabe woks & stir-fry pans are made from top-quality carbon steel. It boasts a natural nonstick surface ONCE SEASONED, ensuring your ingredients effortlessly glide across the pan. Plus, it's pre-seasoned at high temperatures over 1000°F using nitrogen treatment for outstanding durability, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance.
