You need to post pictures of the full piece before you get a translation.

BTW - those are Seals of Solomon, very talismanic warding off evil.

the poem dating back to 915-965. But the Jambiya to me seems made around 1950-1970. Mecca style but could be made in Yemen too.

I would vote for Mecca. Doesn't look like a typical Yemeni to me.
