Interesting blade! The cartouche on the flat is not surprising, it reads amal-e Assadullah Esfahani - work of Assad Allah of Isfahan.

The inscription on the spine is beyond my paygrade, although I think I can make out a few words. I do not know if someone competent in arabic/persian/turkish translation still posts here, the last post by kwiatek was almost two years ago responding to a translation request of mine

I would advise to try to take better pictures though, preferably without glare, and I don't think the whole inscription in the posted pictures.
