I got one and used it for about 2 days and my Meercat (US model) shows slight up & down play but considerable side to side play. Slight pressure separates the lock bar from the two liners. Blade actuallt rattles if the knife is shaken. I don't think thhis is normal; my limited deduction skills seem to suspect the pivot under the scale. It was a tad loose from day one, but I thought it may be due to Phantom Lock. I love everything about this knife - ergos, lock, shape, feel, etc., everything except the bladeplay, a major pet peeve of mine. My other Spyders don't have any play.



Should this Meercat go back to Spyderco?



Thanks - RLR

This knife definitely should go back to Spyderco. Blade play shouldn't be part of any of Spyderco's knives.
