Is this normal?

Just got my AR folder and love it. one question-when in the closed position, the blade can "give" inward until it contact the spacer. It does not rattle on it's own, it's perfectly centered with no side to side movement, but does move a little in and clicks. is this normal, or something I can "adjust" myself? I don't mean to bitch, the lockup is solid and tight. Just wondering if this is just a "custom" feature and nothing to worry about or something I should fix/have fixed.
this is the only "custom" folder/knife I have because I knew I would not be "afraid" to use it.
any insight or comments would be appreciated.

I got mine last week, and it does not hit the spacer at all. I can't even push on it hard enough to hit the spacer. It still closes and secures perfectly.
 
Well, I tightened the pivot side with the writing on it, and although the blade action did not seem to tighten up, it did stop this "play" in the closed position...what did the tightening actually do? I'm just glad there is nothing wrong.
gonna take my 8 year old niece to the zoo later and see if I can't scare the animals.
cheers,
Derek
