Personally I favor Bowie knives. I was bought up with them. I've got an 8" Puma bowie which i've had for 20+ years. I use it for everything from hunting to fishing to killing and dressing my sheep. Its good steel and will hold a good edge for a fair while. If you know how to sharpen a knife you can get it razor sharp. The only other knife I use is a chinese cleaver which i think is an essential in any meat prep area. If you are looking at a fixed blade make sure it has a through tang. You can always bind the handle to get extra comfort or grip from it. This is similar to my Puma:- Puma Bowie knife
