RE: Knurl on cylindrical surface
If you really, really, really need to make a knurl (diamond shape I assume), then you can project or revolve a datum curve around the cylinder surface, then make a swept cut and then pattern the datum curves and cuts. Do the same thing for the other direction.
There are other ways to do it with surface also.

I also agree with Heckler though, knurls make for slow regenreating models. Applying a texture with a bump map would probably be the best way to go about it.
