{'uchchoH} "take hold of, grab hold, seize" fits your explanation 
better.  {'uchchoH}, hasn't been glossed by Okrand, but he used it once:

   wa' jaj 'etlh 'uchchoHlaH tlhIngan puqloD; jajvetlh loD nen moj
   The son of a Klingon is a man the day he can first hold a blade. TKW

See the difference with {'uch} "hold, grasp" (KGT):

   mupwI' yI'uchtaH
   Keep holding the hammer! TKW

{woH} "pick up" has been used twice for picking something up off the ground:

   yIwoH!
   [Pick him up! (untranslated)] ST6

   teplIj yIwoH 'ej pa'lIjDaq yIjaH!
   Pick up your baggage and go to your room. CK
