Almost every set of lathe chisels (we always called them knives) comes with a spear point. If I go to You tube, there will be hundreds of videos about gouges and sharpening them, there will be almost as many about using a skew chisel. There are dozens about scrapers and sharpening them. There is next to nothing about the spear point. In fact, I rarely see them for sale individually. Some friends have ground theirs into scrapers. Are they really as worthless as all that. Frankly, I do use them to clean out corners, but wish they had a 90 degree angle on the point instead of 60.
