No one????
It hasn't been 24 hours!

Yes, it can be fixed. But not with "glue", use epoxy- and a good grade slow curing.

I always drill small holes into the crack, from the inside if possible, to get more area to adhere- like Rich's saw slot.

Usually I also install a brass pin or screw, again from the inside, if the piece is to be used/fired.

For a cosmetic repair, the pin/screw is not needed. It can be spot finished as needed.

What caused it? Poor fitting of the tang- not enough "relief" around the inlet, the metal moves slightly reward and hits the wood = a crack. You can see it also chipped out a bit of the laminate too.
