Ask you, what is the best EDC? The following options: one, the Zero Tolerance 0350 two the Spyderco C81Para-Military2 three Benchmade 581.Four, benchmade 710. Thank you, and can only choose one from four. Daily work and life used. Thank you.
 
I'd go with the Para 2. I love mine. It's big and sturdy enough to handle most tasks while still remaining surprisingly light.
 
For me the 350, because its the only one out of those four that i own. I'm sure they're all pretty great in their own way though.
 
for me its between the 710 and the Para 2. Both are excellent EDC knives, but I carry the BM710 more often than the PM2
 
That's a tough choice. Right now I rotate between the 0350 and PM2 for my EDC but I think if I had to pick one it would be the 0350. They're both seriously epic knives though.
 
I have three of the four of those and have handled the 350, which I don't really like enough to buy, though plenty of others like it. Of the three I own I really like all three, but in order of most carried to least I'd say PM2, 581, 710. Here they are all in M390...

Para 2. Nice lightweight, strong, great useful bladeshape, large handle, very comfortable and reliable.
 
Paramilitary 2. Outstanding knife, very comfortable to use, super sharp. Brilliant knife.
 
I'd choose the 350. I have the 350 and 580, step down from the 581, and while the 580 is a very nice knife it can't beat the overall burliness of the 350...imo. However it is a bit of a beast when you take it out of your pocket and open it...it is not like taking out your SAK.
The 350, while looking more robust, is smaller and thinner though heavier than the 580. But when opening them side by side the 350, to me, does look more rugged.
You can't go wrong with any of those you offer.
 
710 or 0350 for sure. Depending on how big of a knife you want. I love the way my 710 fits in my pocket, my 0350 is a little bit more noticeable.
 
I'm a 710 fan, but haven't held the there's, probably wouldn't if it came down to a choice between the four either, :p
 
710 though I have not invested in a Para 2 yet. I imagine it will come soon but I just can't imagine liking any knife more than the 710.
 
I am carrying a Para2 for EDC right now. Nothing wrong with the Para2 but I might choose the BM 581 out of your list. Lots of people like the BM 710 and it might feel better than the others, I just haven't used one yet. I just got a BM 913 to try out for EDC.

In the ZT's I would pick the 550 or maybe even 560.
