Knife edging the crank is litterally what it means, they cut material off of the counterweight portion of the crank to give the edges a sharp point. This cuts through the oil to keep it from building up in pockets and also reduces parisitic drag... Also removing material from the crank leads to less rotating mass meaning faster revs... But you lose them faster as well...


Minimal gains for the price you pay
