Bought this knife 3 years ago, hardly use it, but always kept it handy. Today when opening the back of the knife snap for no reason. Really disappointed

Boker Plus Worldwide 01B0569 The product arrived in good time and very well packaged in a strong Cardboard box. The knife was well presented in a quality box. The knife was in a padded zipped canvas bag all very impressive. This Boker product was not disappointing. It feels good in the hand is well finished with no rough edges. I knew from other reviews that it was robust and weighty which it is. The blade is a lovely design and again well finished. The handle is workman like and the edges chamfered to provide a comfortable solid grip. The slip joint has a strong spring which is on the limit of such a mechanism needing strong fingers to open. However I can live with this and a little oil helped. The blade is sharp but I would say could be better but it did pass the pencil sharpening test. All good apart from one problem. On closing the blade it was not snapping shut smoothly. ! On inspection it turned out that the two screws holding the pocket clip in place were too long. They were protruding through the side plates and fouling on the side of the blade causing it to not lie central. Having removed the pocket clip fixings the blade centralised and worked properly shutting with a nice snap. The tiny screws securing the clip are not the best quality and I think I will have-to replace them with new screws which is a bit disappointing. (The clip was fixed at the pivot point) May be I was unlucky as no one else seems to have had a similar issue.

The knife is impossible to open. I cannot open it without using pliers, so it is useless to me.
