edge's
The border's own
Edge's is the possessive form of edge.
It indicates something belonging to or associated with an edge: the knife's edge's sharpness, the cliff's edge's crumbling soil.
The double possessive construction often sounds awkward, and writers typically restructure: the sharpness of the knife's edge.
