Mine are made from jointer knives that have gotten too worn to use.

That probably says it. From the L-N site:
:Plane maker Larry Williams requested this special size (1/10th inch Mortise
:Chisel)for his work. Not included in the 5-piece set
I'm guessing it might be the width of the "tang" (I don't know the
right term) on the moulding plane irons and the wedges for those
planes.

I have a 1/8" chisel that was used to cane chair bottoms. I use it when I
need a narrow chisel.

I've got three 3mm mortise chisels, one's a bevel, and I love them.
They're foever coming in handy, but it's paring between the tails of
fine dovetails in small boxes that's perhaps the most awkward job
othewise.
