For small blades (14 -24 in saws)That is just like how you coil up bandsaw blades. Sorta. As they are in a loop... There is a trick to it where you stand on it and grab the top with your hand in just the right orientation, and then twist your wrist and it coils right up. The trick is getting your hand in the right orientation so you can complete the motion.
I hold the blade out horizontal in my upturned hands that are positioned about 1/3 the blade length apart.
A gentle flip to get inertia to help, and the blade neatly lays over it's self in a coil. Larger blades (stiffer) I can make use of a wall or the underside of a work bench to get things going in the desired way.
Easy if you see it, hard to pick it out from printed words.
