Not an experienced hunter, but my favorite general purpose blade would be the Shanghai warrior by cold steel. The SK-5 steel blade is very corrosion resistant and can take tons of abuse without becoming dull, and it's wide and over 9" long so if you stab a game animal and twist it will create a massive wound channel, suitable for bringing down boars and in case you get attacked by a large predator. Planning on using it if I go hog hunting with dogs. Sweet Jesus. Dave Well...uh... yeah. 
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
