They have light, very thin blades that taper to almost nothing on the sides but are still plenty strong enough for gentle tapping with a mallet.

Yes,
I understand that, but I don’t understand the concern for chopping mortises.
The handle will split?
They’ll bend or break readily?
I’m confused.
Well, I guess I’m wondering if I should send these back.
Thanks,
