Campbell, Irvin (IRBI Knives)
The IRBI knife shop opened in July 1971, in Alaska after founder Irvin Campbell taught himself how to make knives while working on the Discovery oil well in Prudhoe Bay. He crafted his first knives from worn-out hand tools and copper tubing. In November 1990, Virgil and Dawn bought the business from Irvin and Clara after learning the knife and sheath making trades during the previous three years. Hunter, the third generation of IRBI Knife makers, started learning the trade in 2005. Sadly, Clara passed away in 1990, and Irvin passed away in 2006. However, their legacy lives on through their works and the works of Virgil, Dawn, and Hunter.
