Chap with knowledge of the Borders (3)

I believe the answer is:

ken

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'chap' is the first definition.
(man's name)

'knowledge of the borders' is the second definition.
'ken' can be an answer for 'knowledge' (ken is a kind of knowledge). I'm unsure of the 'of the borders' bit.

'with' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ken that I've seen before include "Understanding - boy's name" , "Notice" , "Know; man's name" , "Identify; -- Livingstone" , "One's range of knowledge" .)
