The ½ after the model number is commonly associated with round points.

I avoid Henckels five digit model numbers; similarly to what I wrote earlier in this thread about my explanation of the lonesome twin, I found that these razors are not on the same level as other Henckels.

As far as Henckels goes, I used to look more for the stainless steel Friodurs.

Towards the end of their straight razor era, Henckels quality appears to have started slipping - possibly due to shrinking demand that made Henckels loose interest - and I once bought a late NOS Henckels in Europe that took mulitple attempts to get it up to a similar standard as my other 20-odd Friodurs.
