445, 415, 401, 79 ... - The model number.
Yes, i don't think it relates to anything more than model numbers. It's a bit odd that they also use half increments.
It is a really good razor - enjoy it.Quote:

Henckels does make stainless and non-stainless versions of the same model number. ie I've seen 70 1/2 stainless razors and 70 1/2 non stainless. But if it's stainless it will also say "friodur" and "inox" on it.
I've got a 401 also but it's a plat. Carbon steel so far that's my fav till I get my jr&s fixed up and given a try.
