no, knife-edging originated in domestic vehicles where the crank continuously dips into the oil in the oil pan. since our hondas do not, this would have minimal, if that, gains.

but knife-edging will reduce the rotating mass of the crankshaft thus more acceleration , am i right ?

yes but you can reduce the rotating mass with a lighter flywheel also.

Never knife edge with a turbo or any car driven on the street. For an all out, rebuild it after every race, n/a race car, it could allow you to rpm a little quicker.
