Hi Ron
Welcome to the forum. The jambiya shown are from Yemen and were probably made in Sana'a. They are recently made 1980s-present and are nice examples of average to a bit above average quality. The hilts are cow or buffalo horn. I saw similar ones being offered on ebay a few months ago that were being sold by Yemeni dealer.
