Never heard of it and at those prices I will never own one. You can buy a heck of a lot of stuff for $350.00.
Plus wait awhile and they will be selling them on ebay for $29.99 made in China
 
There is an awful lot of corporatese language on that thar page. It looks like a plastic dingus to me. I don't see how you could properly sharpen a skew with a flexible disc...
 
A friend of mine has one to review. It is fairly expensive but would compare to a tormex system. It is built mainly to sharpen carvers tools which have to be very sharp. The idea is you can see the edge of your tool while you are sharpening it. So far he is not sure he really likes it.
 
Photos showing it in use would help. It's an expensive gadget, it should work. Someone mentioned it is designed for carvers. I know several master carvers, they sharpen with simple equipment. One uses wet/dry paper in his hand. Produces incredible edges. Cost? Almost zip.

If you go to the media link on there site there are several videos you can watch. The lady sharpens several typels of tools including skews and gouges. It is a pretty neat concept. The link below will take you right to the demonstration videos.
