Anyone have the Trailsaver axe and use it?

As I’m waiting for my EX, I thought at least I’d donate some money to Stark for something I can physically hold in my hand- the 3d printed titanium axe!

It’s a really cool piece, but the handle seems fragile- has anyone used it to chop a tree branch or anything?

Or any other impactful use? I want to bring it with me on trips and use it, but I’m skeptical…

I'm not spending $250 for a hatchet, but I'm not judging.
Stark seems to think it's capable of actually chopping:

I got my Makita E-saw for 399.00 and I can get it and 2 batteries into a backpack. Clean and pretty powerful. 250.00 is a lot for a hachet which is probably not as good as a foldable handsaw for trail work/cleanup.

On the other hand if you really like it that is cool I get it --for trailwork and chopping wouldn't be my choice though.

I think I'd use the wolf head handle to open bottles more often than I'd use it to chop and clear trails. And that's a really expensive bottle opener.
As Chaconne mentioned, a foldable handsaw would be more useful, safer to carry and weigh less.
