I don't have any experience with that particular model but I carried a spyderco on duty as an LEO for a several years before I sprung for an auto. Overall they make good knives for the money and you won't be too upset if you lose it in a foot chase. The serrated blades cut seatbelts well, which was one of my primary concerns. Overall for the money I think it's a good blade considering your usage, one downside of the serrated blades is finding someone to sharpen it can be a chore, but for the money they're almost disposable. I would still prefer a good auto with a large button as a backup weapon in case I'm fighting on the ground trying to protect my primary weapon. The spyderco ergonomics are good as a one hand opener with a little practice, but you'll need to practice with it a bit to get it into muscle memory as with anything. I never had to use mine under those circumstances thankfully, but I always carried on my left side specifically for that purpose.

Hope this helps
