where to get crank knife edged?

why do you want your honda crank knife edged? Its a dry sump meaning the crank doesnt go through the oil in the pan therefore the knifing action has no benefit except a little bit lighter so take the money you would have spent and put it towards a lighter flywheel.

the crank doesnt go through the oil? I guess you learn something new everyday

not in honda engines. There are some motors where the crank does sit/go through the oil. The motors where the crank does sit or go through the oil does benefit from knife edging. But our dry sump motors the crank sits above and does not go through the oil therefore knife edging offers no benefit.

he wants it knife edged for less rotating mass in the motor and he already has a jun lightned flywheel. less weight = faster acceleration

How much of a gain could you possibly get from this? What are your current mods? That will pretty much tell you if you need this done. I agree with robster. In a low HP/Tq honda engine the gains are not going to be high.

FYI the closer the crank is counterweighted in relation to the rod/piston and crank journal the more stable it will be at high rpms. That is why Honda made the counterweights on the typer crank heavier than that of the gsr crank even though the stroke is the same. So youll have a crank that is capable of accelerating faster but it will be more unstable and probably wear out bearings faster.
