I show some basic types of utility knives and some features I would look for.
The most common utility knife is retracting. It uses a thumb slide to extend and retract the blade. A better quality utility knife has multiple settings for the depth of the blade, a quick release for blade exchange and a compartment for extra utility blades.
The most convenient style of utility knife to carry around and store is a folding utility knife. This is about half the size of a traditional knife when folded. 
I like a folding utility knife that locks when closed, has a belt clip and a stripping notch.
