McMaster carries them.  This page is what comes up if you search "cratex" on their site -

Thanks Bent!

I actually found a set of the Cratex points on Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07WRMMM3Q?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

They had cheap knock-offs too, but I went with the Cratex.  Those seem to last much longer than the knock-offs, according to the comments at least.  And the Cratex sticks I currently have, I've used for many years and they only show minimal signs of wear, so I do believe they are good quality!

Cratex also sells mini-kits directly:

It's interesting that the sets are slightly different from their Amazon store.

Yes, I noticed that too.  Though I found one of the comments in the Amazon set that said they checked with Cratex and found that they packaged up this set specifically for this seller.  So the claim is that it's authentic Cratex.  Who knows if that's really true or not, but that's what I'm banking on :)
