Default Folding a BS blade

I hang it from an upturned hand and let it touch the floor. Step on it
with your toes (in a boot of course). Close your fist (in a glove of
course) and twist and lower and get the same effect. Of course I
always have to try it two or three times before I remember the exact
flow.



Cause I am to tough... ;!) I don't use a glove,,, but I did when I used
the shorter blades. The longer blades seem to just fold up in place with
out really thinking about it.

I watched a kid fold up a BS mill blade and was shocked how easy it was,
and no gloves..

I use something like that, except use two hands: step on blade, hold both
hands out from sides, palms away from you (the "what, me?" pose), then grab
in both hands, turn palms towards you while bringing your hands together.

Unfolding is easy. walk out front and throw it in the grass. never fails.
