Does anybody recognize the sharpening system used by Barbershop Customs in this video? People have asked them repeatedly in comments but they never give up what it is. I love stuff that isn't branded all over but it's really annoying in this case.

 
I don't recognize it.

Being that the knife maker is in Poland, I wonder if he is using an early model of a Kazak knife sharpening system or using Kazak parts on his own base. The base of that device looks ... odd for lack of a better word. I don't recall a system using a wing nut to hold the vertical mast to the base. Kazak Poland has been making knife sharpeners since 2014. It would make sense if the maker used something/parts he could easily get locally.

Just a poor guess on my part.

A guess yes, but you may be right on the money. 👌

That 360 pivot looks like what's on the Kazak site. The clamps are similar. That's really most of what I was interested in. It all looks really smooth and precise and beefy.

The base seems to move around on him a lot. Maybe that's just getting used to the system, though.

Doing the exchange, the Kazak systems are in the ballpark of a KME or Edge Pro if I can get someone over there to ship one to me. I have a KME out for delivery today so I'll see how that goes.

I am not 100% sure, but i saw one on the big bay site, that looks like it ships from California. But it was around the $450 mark, i think.

Looks like a Kazak to me!
