Slipjoint Queston: "Run Up"

[tony moyer]

What is the term when the run up on a slipjoint goes past the liners in the closed position?

Thanks Tony

Tony,I think when the corner of the folded blade sits below the liner,it's called a sunken joint.I believe,the term "run up",is anything but,a sunken joint.
The "run up",is the amount the tang sits up. If that makes sense & I may be corrected.

I think the "run up" is simply the whole vertical part the tang where it meets the blade back. If the corner sits above the liners just by a little bit, it's often called a semi-sunk joint. If the corner sits significantly above the liners, it's called a common joint.

I'm not sure but I mean the way that the joint sticks up like this Bose.

That would be a common joint.
