Knurling is a machining process normally carried our on a centre lathe. The act of Knurling creates a raised criss cross pattern on a smooth round bar that could be used as a handle, or something that requires extra grip

It is a diagonal crosshatching of grooves cut into a metal, usually for a handle or knob, to improve one's ability to grip the handle or knob.

It can also be used to "rough up" a surface before installing a sleeve over an undersized shaft.
