“evildoers beware this giant hammer of justice, made of steel”
Just to the south of 65 Front Street, near the intersection of Front and State streets.Along Front Street in Downtown Columbus are located two pedestrian plazas-courtyards with some unique statues, flag poles and tidal basins/fountains. This is the large steel judicial gavel in honor if the Ohio Supreme Court. There is also a fountain/tidal pool with words (Reason, Honor, Wisdom, Justice...) written in steel. Open year round. Currently, (3/09) there is construction along Front St., so parking is at a premium.

Took some time to find. It's actually on the right side of the Supreme Court of Ohio building facing the river. Within reasonable walking distance of the Arnold Schwarzenegger statue and Christopher Columbus statue.
Great fast stop for an interesting photo op! Parking directly in front of the gavel.
I had no idea this was the world's largest gavel, but if you say so, Roadtrippers! A cool spot if you happen to be in the area but def. don't go out of your way to check it out. It's a large gavel...
This was a little tricky to find. It's between two buildings that are right on the river, where you wouldn't expect them I'd say. Either way, really worth the stop, and Columbus is awesome!
Did a circle the block and found it next to the Ohio Supreme Court building,
Cool stop if your already in the area..we jumped in the fountain and splashed around lol security did not care as long as your not touching the gavel.
It's big.
cool gavel but don’t go out of your way to stop
The entire neighborhood and surrounding area is under construction (7/7/19) so we couldn't get close enough to take pictures.
Neat sculpture, kids enjoyed it. Just a small walk from other attractions, like COSI and Scioto Mile.
