I got a couple from some no-English supermaket place in Chinatown by the SilverDragon for about $6 or $7, which is what the Chinese use. Carbon steel is thin and cheap and you've got to properly clean & season it. Tonnes of youtube videos on this online. The sides of mine look like that picture, but the inside is a glossy patina.

Things will occasionally stick, but shouldn't be too bad if you're seasoning and using sufficient oil.
