From DREITRUM from Solingen the model FESTON nail scissors.
Hot forged, but ice hardened. Then finely ground and tested by an expert. These scissors in straight design with long blades can be resharpened if necessary.
Their field of application is human nails, which are shortened with them, as the serration located on the lower basin holds the nail at the moment of cutting. Typically, such shears have short tips in conjunction with long blades. My search for the origin of this term yielded the following.
In the early 19th century, women used the scissors so named for sewing and embroidery work. This involved cutting thick fabrics, such as ribbons and braids, with these same scissors. In 1824, a doctor of medicine published a book on "Surgery, Ophthalmology and Obstetrics" that is still available in the K. und K. Hofbibliothek in Vienna. In these "Baierschen Annalen" the Medicus Dr. Reisinger advises the use of the so-called "Feston scissors" to place sutures close to the eye. It was precisely the long blades and short tips that enabled clean work on the human corpus, in contrast to the medical scissors used until then.
Leather, cardboard, rubber, foil can also be cut with FESTON scissors due to their special design. The word "Feston" comes from French and means garland. In architecture, corresponding ornamental work on façades and in sacred buildings is also called.
Lang mi ned so fest on, maybe the embroidering Viennese girls of the 19th century said that... The young Fräuleins also called the soldiers of the Napoleonic era, who adored them, "Der G'schwof".
Came from where? "Permettez vous, que je vous fasse mon compliment."  If the French occupiers said this sentence to the Viennese women, those who did not know French understood the spoken "kschöwufass" to mean only G'schwof. Even this description of the foreigners was not well-meaning. Reminds me of Piefke as a term for a German. Also not a compliment, believe me.
