Useable vs status axes

I thought axes were often turning up that were too big to actually use? and that they're usually explained as status / trading objects. Or is there something unusual about this one because it's a stone axe from the bronze age.

(By the way, reading the thread from a few days ago about recognising flints, it occurred to me that the sooner you get out and knap some flint yourself, the sooner you'll recognise people's handiwork in the bits you find out and about. )
