"de la cuchilla"

Question

This phrase is in an article I'm translating and refers to the manager of a football club.

I am curious to see what the answer is...I did my research and came up with nothing! - missy8888, Apr 25, 2012

It will help if you put the phrase in context - comunacho, Apr 25, 2012

Answer 1

With 'cuchillo' referring to a blade, could the fútbol reference be more like explaining the team or a player is on the edge of a success or failure??? Just a thought.

That would be "en el filo". - comunacho, Apr 25, 2012

Thanks for this - it does make sense in the context. - MeredithP, Apr 26, 2012

Answer 2

You should post the sentence so native speakers can check how the phrase is used in context. It could be someone from the country or someone who makes (or made) a living as a butcher.

I did a bit of research and this is what I found:

gente de la cuchilla - butchers; country folk (archaic)

negros de la cuchilla - blacks from the ridge (It's a Liverpool football club)

cuchilla (geography) - low-hill range; ridge

I hope it helps. Goodluck.

Sorry, I came up with nothing online.

Can you post the entire sentence or paragraph... Maybe we can get it in context?

Thanks Mariana. The sentence is 'Segun informo el diario Ultimas Noticias, el gerente del club "de la cuchilla", Carlos Ferragut, reconocio la idea. - MeredithP, Apr 26, 2012
