What goes around comes around.
Well whatever it was it wasn't as hard as old Stanley or Record.Jacob, as far as I am aware, Clifton did not use ductile iron. Same old stuff as Stanley.

It picked up a deep scratch very easily, but then was easy to flatten and remove it. Nothing like the oldies at all.
That wasn't the only reason I sold it on - I just didn't rate it as value for money compared to an oldie. It was 4 Bedrock design.
Main thing about ductile iron is it's supposed to be cheaper. In fact one of my experiments was with a rubbish Ess-Vee no 4. Cheapo Indian and badly made. The blade was OK but the body was soft (ductile?) like the Clifton
I went through quite a few of modern and other alternatives just to find out. Non of them were keepers, Record consistently best.
