Boker Twin- Pin Lock. Reliable?

[Contained]

Hi all,
near the beginning of the summer i purchased a boker eurofighter II with the button lock (or the "Twin-Pin Lock" as they call it). ive never dropped the knife, and never even cut anything as hard as cardboard i mainly just open and close it because its so smooth and easy, but the knife has developed quite a bit of blade play side to side and some up and down too. im not too familiar with the locking mechanism, so i was thinking it might just be that, but should i be worried about the lock failing on me?

thanks again,
noah

well the side to side play can be remedied by tightening the pivot with a torx or hex key,but you cant fix the up/down play,check the inside of your knife and make sure that the lock is still intact and that there is not a bunch of gunk inside-hope this helped and good luck

i tried tightening the pivot, but it didnt do much. i called the boker repair center and left a message, so hopeflly they can do something for it.
thanks,
