From what I've read, they're all like that (mine is, too) so it's a flaw in the design. I'm having mine modified--flipper mod, new scales, etc--and one of the modifications I've requested is a new backspacer profile that closes the gap between the spacer and the point so there's less chance of getting a fingertip in there.
I've also heard that you have to watch out for the cutting edge if you run a finger along the back of the handle when the blade is closed, but mine was okay in that respect.
