If you wind up with a Benchmade auto exhibiting blade play, the pivot screw has backed out too much. It's a balance between the blade being loose and the the handles being squeezed so tightly together that it restricts the action of the knife. I haven't found one yet without a sweet spot, but you may have to blue loc-tite it in place to keep it there.

Just my personal experience after owning a 2550, 9100, 9500, 3550, 9052 and 6150.

No blade play when they are new.
Maybe as you use them, you can get a little blade play.
but that's easy to fix with a 10 torx.

None of mine have any blade play, either side-to-side, or up/down, including the 5000 I bought as a user.
