its for a river knife, camping, and casual use

The Mini Covert (the first one) is the one I would get.

It has a thumb stud and liner lock, so you can open and close it quickly with one hand (unlike the second knife, which is a lock-back).

I’ll admit the second one looks nicer, but a knife is a tool, and the Mini Covert seems more practical.
