I don't own any myself. I have heard that they are great planes. But for the same money I would have a hard time not going with Lie Nielson, or Veritas.
Cliftons are good planes. Folks who have them like them, but they are in the same price range as LN and more than Veritas both of which cut just as well. LN is also American made which doesn't hurt either. :icon_thum
