I saw what you mean by four foot boxes.. but mine would be seven foot boxes.
:)) small GLOAT!
A 1 1/4 inch wide blade is not fun to coil.
Thanks all for the help

If you have the wall space, that's great. I have a half dozen blades
and store them on nails, overhead on side of a rafter, just above my
bandsaw. The folding process is almost magical.

Space.
If I'm going to change blades soon, I'll hang the first one over a couple of
hook. If I'm going to not use it for a time, I'll fold it and tuck it away
in a box. I just don't have the wall space to hang four of five blades and
putting them all on the same hooks would be a real PITA.

Before I learned how to make them into circles and store them in their
boxes, the 105" blades hanging on the wall would leap from 3 or 4 feet away
to dig their teeth into my clothing and skin. You can't trust 'em out in
the open like that. They're way too aggressive and eager to cut. Circle
the wagons, er, blades, & put them in a drawer.

I found it a little bizarre that the instructions on the back of the Olsen
blades said to throw the folded blade on a concrete floor and let it snap
open.

Shipping those 4' long boxes would become tiresome.
