A #4.5 Lakeland blade is the same as the #5 Worth, and a #5 Lakeland is a #5.5 Worth then the size #6 and #7 are the same. I get the blades I use most directly from Worth but when I need 100 or less I go to Barlow's Tackle and they have 3 levels of finish, economy which is cheap, premium which is good and the ultra premium which are really nice. BTW I believe you can order less than the minimum from Worth but you pay a small charge if you go under.
