Dessert Warrior pivot screw stripped from factory

Received my first Boker today, a mini dessert warrior. Neat little automatic, but it appears the pivot screw has been mangled by the factory. Is this normal for what Boker sends out? Is it possible to get a correct replacement, is it even anything to worry about? I’m sure I could return it, but being sold out, I doubt I could get a replacement.

Appreciate any thoughts.

 

Sent them a message when I posted here. Never heard back. This was a relatively inexpensive knife, I can live with it, but makes me hesitant to purchase anything else from Boker.

 

There is only one dealer for these as far as I know and they sell them out quick. I didn't bother contacting them since I figured this could easily be dealt with through Boker. The reason I posted here was I had seen in the past where they had a forum presence. Guess those days are gone. Its a fun little knife, I'll try and deal with Boker again, since they seem like the only place that could offer a correct replacement screw. I'll also contact the dealer just to see what they have to say. Thanks all.

 

An update. Boker replied and apologized, caught them in the middle of staff replacement. They really don't consider this their problem, its a Blade HQ modification which voids the warranty. They did offer to supply a plain pivot screw for $14.95. I didn't really find that acceptable. Boker agreed and offered to send one out for free if I can't rectify this with Blade HQ. Blade HQ responded that they could issue a refund for the knife, return it to Boker for warranty work, which could result in me being billed for the repair, or that I could look online for a replacement part. Again, not thrilled with paying to repair a new knife. Overall, I greatly appreciate Bokers offer for a replacement part.
