It's normal. Every Spyderco lockback that's passed through my hands has had a small degree of vertical play, against the lock.
Pretty much all do a little bit, but not all of them are equal. It is possible yours is worse than most, or better. The steel-handle models are usually better, but right now the Delica with the stainless handle does not have the same steel for the blade as the plastic model.
If you got it at a store you could try looking at other units in stock to see if they have a better one. Some are very well fit and require a lot of force to make the blade move. Others are kind of loose and the blade will wiggle up and down easily.
