JMHO, but I think the Apollo 11 Sebenza will follow the same path as the hollow handle CRK A2 knives in terms of value.
When the Project 1 was still being made, I got one and paid $300 for it NIB. For years, I told myself "I gotta get a Shadow IV." I told myself that until they went out of production. I finally got a NIB Shadow IV but paid $500 for it and was glad to get it. Now that knife costs $700. From what I have seen, both the Project 1and the Shadow IV seem to go up in price about $100 with each passing year.
The thing is
these two knives were made for years on end.
Now: Fast forward to the CRK Apollo 11 Sebenza.
It will be made for one year only.
I think those who buy them will keep them, except for guys who can by ten of them, salt them away and auction them off for hideous prices 5-10 years down the road.
As others have observed, the Apollo 11 Sebenza is one of the best (if not
the best) graphic designs CRK has ever made. I think aleforme is on target with his assessment of the situation -
"...there will always be various wood inlay damascus blades available and Thuya isn't rare. But, there will only be one unique Lunar Landing model..."
All the taken into consideration, I'm going to find a way or make a way to get one of the Apollo 11 Sebenzas, at least one and maybe two or three.
Go thou and do likewise, my brethren. Just don't let the wife find out.
