dumb newbie question - open and closed knuckles

What is the difference between an open knuckle and a closed knuckle on a dana 60?
If you have pictures of it that would be great 2, thanks

On a closed knuckle, you won't be able to see the u-joint:



Open knuckle you can see the u-joint:
-'97 Ranger w/ 4" lift, 33" MTZ's, 4.56's, and some new sheet metal
-'89 Thunderbird SC - 285HP, 392ft/lbs [email protected]

Great thanks for the pics
The open is the desirable one I gather.
I am going to start to buy heavier duty ones for my summer buildup.
