What it does

Hook the foe's leg (a beast's hock) and haul it down like a tree: one hit in a 60 degree cone at the weapon's reach + 0.3: 1.8x and stagger 30 (a person or other S body is Staggered at once; an M body needs two, an L four), and any wind-up or charge it was in breaks, whatever its size. A braced foe (its 4 s after a stagger) is slowed instead: slow 0.4 for 2 s. Flyers (bats, owls) have no legs to hook: damage only. A fresh HitSpec. Recover 0.3 s.

Edge: Hock-Cut

Also cuts 2 gashes.
