Boker is a good knife maker. Have you tried to tighten the construction screws? I'm sure if you contacted them and sent the knife in they would send it back good as new.
But dollar for dollar the RAT 1 or Spyderco Tenacious are probably the best folders in that price range. The thing about the RAT 1 is its construction. It uses 4 screws. Kershaw is a good one too. Like the Blur. But it's a little more expensive. But made in the US.

If you search bladeforums, you can find out other things they did that were considered unprofessional/unsavory.
They also come across as mall ninja/joke. They put made a laser guided chopping knife that was all "aesthetics" (if you like ugliness). It is kinda hard to take them seriously.

I'm a member of blade. But don't frequent there since ESEE left, I usually go to the ESEE forum these days.

Truth is like the finest dagger ever made;
The steel cannot be dulled, chipped or broken.
Its thrust is deep and causes agonizing pain.
Those struck with the dagger of truth
must come to terms with the wicked lies
within their heart and soul.
No matter where you run or hide, nor how deep you dig your foxhole...the big green weenie WILL find you.
