Stone Age Oldowan Chopper made by me, a traditional prehistoric technique flint knapper.

The Oldowan (or Mode I) was a widespread stone tool archaeological industry during the early Lower Paleolithic spanning the late Pliocene and the first half of the Early Pleistocene. These early tools were simple, usually made by chipping one, or a few, flakes off a stone using another stone. Oldowan tools were used during a period spanning from 2.9 million years ago up until at least 1.7 million years ago (Ma), by ancient hominins (early humans) across much of Africa.

Oldowan tools are sometimes called "pebble tools", so named because the blanks chosen for their production already resemble, in pebble form, the final product. It is not known for sure which hominin species created and used Oldowan tools.

The Chopper is a simple butchering tool most likely first used by Australopithecus Afarensis about 3.3 million years ago. It is a butchering tool, and represents the very transition between australopithecines and the beginning in the genus Homo. This made to order chopper is a replica of the very first tool created on earth. I offer an oversize or regular chopper (see pictures) but if you would like something specific do let me know!
