Skew chisel by Wen has a sharp oval shape?

I was looking at tools, as I do while my wife watches her shows in the evening. I saw that Wen has a set of "artisan lathe chisels" and that their skew chisel body has what appears to be an eye or Vesica piscis; I had to look that one up... shape to it.

Does anyone have that set, and if so, what are your thoughts on the quality and so on?

I'm just curious about it, as I've found myself modifying the HSS of my skews to have a similar style. Mostly just getting rid of the sharp edges, as they have dug grooves into the tool rest, but I've only done that on the closer edge that I tend to ride as I shape something.
