I was thinking about some type of storage for my saw blades for the TS55. Right now I have the Panther and the blade that came with the saw. Eventually I will pick up the Fine Tooth Blade and the Solid Surface blade. I was looking for ideas on your personal storage methods in your HOME SHOP AND NOT YOUR MOBILE SHOP, other then hanging them on the wall. I know I could put them in a systainer, but I want them from slyding all over the place. So gauging ideas or solutions for this. I know the TS55 Systainer has a spot for holding like an extra blade but it gets combersome to constantly pull everything out to get to it.
Storage of TS 55, TS 75 & Kapex Saw Blades?

If I had a few blades to store, I would take some 1/8" plywood, cut it into squares slightly larger than a blade's diameter, and glue them with 1/4" spacers around three of the edges. Sort of like a file cabinet with dividers. Then slice off the top open edge so that 1/2" or so of each blade is showing. This would be enough to be able to pull the blade out.
You could also NOT slice off the top edge, add a spacer around the open edge, cut it lower down and hinge it. Similar to box construction.
You could glue on another set of spacers and a 1/8" skin as needed if you buy another blade.

Festool offer a carry bag which has I think six separate sleeves for blades,very neat not much bigger than blade diameter made of the rail bag material in blue with green logo. Will try to find a pic and part number don't see why it should be NAINA
If you check out what this guy has proposed on another forum, it might work for you.

This is the bag:

Can't believe that this is NAINA. I saw it in the shop and initially balked at the price, but reasoned that it was about the same as replacing a blade if I dropped it....

I bought two of these:
http://www.woodcraft.com/Product/2004233/8607/Blade-Runner-1050-Circular-Saw-Storage-Case.aspx
and had them sent over from the US. I use one for sharp blades and one for blunt ones. The blunt ones get sent for sharpening and then transferred over to the other caddy.
I have some 2.5mm Polyprop washers that sit in-between the blades to stop them interfering with each other!
Works really well, it's a shame that you can't get stuff like this over here in the UK more readily.
