I'm not an expert on the matter, but I think that's a Richartz Pocket Knife 7, or something very similar.

EDIT: Possibly a model 6261

EDIT again: I'm not a German speaker, so I can only go by pictures, and I can't find this exact tool combination and scale type. Right now, Richartz puts out this line, made in Solingen. There are certain model designators
like 'Optima' and 'Ultima'.

Here's a link to the Ultima Maxi 7 knife, with the same toolset as yours, but with corkscrew instead of philips.

Felinevet sells these Richartz knives on his site from time to time, and i don't think he'd have them listed if they were junk.

I remember seeing one of those at SOSAK along time ago..

Someone commented that the Trident logo is from a company that makes good knives, but couldn't find the reference.

Trident mystery

the knife is very well made and sturdy. its equal to the swiss army knife quality. but that is all i know about this knife for now... hope to find out more, and thanks for the inputs.
