I think I heard it before but what exactly is the deal with the knife-edged crank (is that even what its called)? What's done and how does it help?

Knife edging is shaving weight off your crank, much like resurfacing your flywheel, lets the engine rev up quicker due to lessening the rotational mass. The crank also cuts through the oil easier. It does weaken the crank tho, so IMO its not worth the 3 hp you will get from it if your car is daily driven.

i think knife edging IS WELL WORTH IT!!! in my old NA set up, i was easily in the high 12's... i have a whole new set up now that is so much slower... i couldnt figure out why but i did realize the differences driving the car with a knife-edged crank and a non knife-edged crank

Well, u have 2 different setups, and in those 2 setups there could be a LOT of other factors that could result in it "feeling" slower than your older one. Unless all your factors are the same EXCEPT that you did knife edging on one and not the other then you cant really say "the reason it feels slower is cause of the knife-eding"

set-ups are almost identical... the new set up has HIGHER COMPRESSION than the previous and the new set up is a 2 litre Ls/VTEC... while the previous was a 1.8 ls/vtec... so tell me why is my 2 litre slower than the 1.8 that was knife edged
major differences were that:
1.8: b16 tranny, knife edged crank, balanced crank, LESS compression, slightly lighter on the scales
2.0: gsr tranny [4.7 final gear and Quaife LSD on the way], HIGHER compression
so NOW TELL ME what you think the reason was the RPMS rev'd 100x faster and the car was a lil under 1 full second faster
