Looks like a Dunn's Improved Skinner - I have a small game and small skinner combo and like them well enough. Here's the website: http://www.dunnknives.com/products/

Yep, I have taken out probably 4-5 sets like those over the years. With around 10,000 beaver to my credit there's not many out there.

Lee, that is the Dunn full skinner. (Mine is worn down a little so it looks like the improved).

Question is, are castor's like that worth the same as other castors ounce for ounce? Or are they no good since they're hard?

I have always just added them with my other castor and sold them. Haven't ever heard back from a buyer complaining.
