I’ve owned a Ratworx Mini MRX for a few years. I’ve talked about it before on the forum. I don’t know about current production, but mine was actually made by Guardian Tactical.
The mechanism is probably the most durable of any production automatic on the market. I carried it for a while, but switched to the Benchmade CLA for my EDC knife. The MRX had an anodized aluminum handle, which shows wear rather quickly. The CLA has a G10 handle, which is all but bulletproof. I’ve carried the CLA for almost 2 years and it still looks like new and functions perfectly. I also prefer a safety on my autos.
The MRX is on the left, second from the bottom.
Their testing videos are worth watching. The knife ran through 400,000 cycles before it required service. That’s about 10X what other quality auto’s can handle.

Here’s a recent photo of my CLA (top).
I’m pretty sure they raised the price since then, but my Mini MRX was purchased from PVK Vegas for $150. That was about $100 less than anyone else I thought the deal was too good to refuse.
