Personal preference is a small knife with a combination serrated and straight edge. Favorite was a Spyderco ?Ladybug. Almost too small. Lost it somewhere on the Dominican Republic. Right now I'm using a Mt Shasta combo edge. Bit heavy relative to the Ladybug. Strong construction. I usually also pack an old BuckTool. It has a straight and serrated blade plus a few useful tools.

Regarding protection from wild animals. Only one real close encounter. Black bear. I found a small tree between it and me plus a branch the length and size of a baseball bat worked. A knife as protection? No way!
