Actually nowhere in the tooltip even states that it grants evasion or list the evasion duration. I was pleasantly surprised when I found out it evaded when I was doing dungeons a couple of years ago.

Pistol-whip your foe, stunning them, then slash repeatedly with your sword.

The wiki states a 1.25s evasion frame. From my experience, it’s basically the start of the sword swinging animation, and ends on the last hit.

^ this. Bear in mind the windup for the stun, and the turn before the sword flurry are not evades. So there’s a window you can be interrupted in before the evades, against other thieves that’s a big deal. Other than that it’s pretty nice if you can time it well.
