Help with translation 1

This is a recent purchase. It's a Jambiya in the style favored around Mecca. It might have been made there or in Yemen and exported to that area. It has some age to it. I Would not be surprised if it is early 20th. It has what I believe is the makers name on the back of the sheath and two Arabic scripts on the blade. Can anyone help with the translations? TIA.

I am giving this a bump in hopes of attracting the attention of an Arabic speaker for a translation. I hope the photos are oriented correctly. My apologies if they are not.
