Sounds like it was shot peened. We do that where I work. Metal gets shot peened to make it stronger. Most of what we do is oil field related pipe or pipe like parts. We blast the thread area with steel shot. It mashes the molecules together at the surface of the metal. It makes the threads stronger in the low part of the threads, less likely to fatigue crack.

Here is what Yung is talking about I saw it also.

Definitely not shot peened, and yes to Timbowe connection rods in almost all real race motors are shot peened.
Most of the moving parts in jet engines are shot peened. It looks like the crank that Yunggunnaz is talking about, and the one on ebay has been knurled real deep. Most bench press bars have been knurled where you grab the bar. Most stocks on hunting rifles have knurling. Looks like a cool modification.
