It has been almost two years, and they are still selling the ZhenSanHuan hand hammered wok for ~$300 on Amazon (as well as eBay)
Nothing against spending good money for high quality cookware. I am not just sure the surge of price. These hand hammered woks were at most $50 before that Chinese TV documentary show.
For what it is worth, I was at a Chinese inventory market in LA about a year ago, and saw these hand hammered woks. Thick, polish, good looking, not inexpensive. (I think they were ~$150).
