Blade play in Byrd Cara Cara 2?

So I was looking at reviews for the Byrd and I saw this video.

Is this a common problem with Byrd's or did he get screwed? I really want this knife but don't think I could live with this. Any help would be great.

My brother has one and likes it. It was his first entry into "spyderco" knives and replaced a garbage 5.11 knife. He has since got a Meadowlark too. Both knives are, for the price, very fine tools. I will take my Sage's any day but he is not there yet!

Go for it and order one. High end knives sneak out with problems now and then so a cheaper line will have issues now and then too. Buy it from a known seller here (bladehq, culteryshoppe...) and if there is a problem you can send it back. NO KNIFE IS PERFECT. Most of the cost of expensive knives is finish and tolerances. The cheaper Byrd knives will work just fine, although they wont look so damn sexy while working just fine.

My Cara Cara Rescue 2 Is like a rock. I use it a lot to break down thick cardboard and the blade moves not a bit. FWIW.

I'm really leaning towards getting it. I can't think of a better knife under 20.

What would you buy Cara Cara 2 or a Kershaw volt 2?
