It's not very traditional, and not for everyone...but
My favorite hunting knife right now, AND ONE I WOULD RECOMMEND TO ANYONE WHO IS TRYING TO PACK LIGHT for whatever reason, is the Spyderco Moran Featherweight upswept. (They make a drop point version.)
It is very very light, I carry it around my neck and it never notice it. Most comfortable knife in-hand that I've used and the VG10 blade is great.
Have a mini-kabar that serves as camp knife,
Would really like to try a good 1095 knife like the RATs...the Kabar is just soooo dang "chunky" in the spine.
