    Here's an idea for those pesky slim piercing saw blades:   Take a
    package of ordinary cheap bic pens; use the clear ones.  Remove the
    tip/ink holder. Insert a given size of saw blades into the now empty
    ink pen body and replace cap.  Mark the size with permanant marker on
    the  outside of the pen where you can see it.   Repeat for all the
    other sizes you stock.   For those of you who are further bound by
    neatness, make a stand for the holders. Drill several holes about 
    5/16" diameter  in a smal piece of wood and insert the pen/blade
    holders into the wood vertically. This wasn't my original idea, but
    it works wonderfully, keeps blades separate, minimizes space needed,
    and seems, in my experience, to  help prevent rusted blades.
