I noticed the length measurements don't align with any Matfer pans. The description page lists the following:
Weight: 8 in: 44 oz (2 lbs, 12 oz) 10 in: 59 oz (3 lbs, 11 oz) 12 in: 83 oz (5 lbs, 3 oz)
So I cross referenced against Matfer's website -- http://www.matferbourgeatusa.com/black-steel-round-frying-pan-10 -- and the weights match the following sizes.
2 lbs, 12 oz: 8 5/8" 3 lbs, 11 oz: 10 1/4" 5lbs, 3 oz: 12 5/8"
I just wish that Cooks Illustrated's recommended model for Carbon-Steel pans -- 11 7/8": 4lbs, 11 oz (75 oz) -- was available. :-(

wwelchThank you very much for this! What is interesting is that the 11 7/8" pan is $13 more than the 12 5/8 pan on Amazon. Looks to me like they are charging a premium for it.

deaconblue42This pan should last you at least 20 years. If you really want the one on Cooks Illustrated then I suggest you cough up the extra $13 on Amazon.
If you amortize it over 20 years it will cost you and extra $0.65 a year and you will be a much happier person for it.

BarryBogaveNah, I'm plenty happy with the 12, might get the 8 or crepe pan at some point. The 12 is almost as big as my big LeC enameled cast iron that I find so useful.
