Take the handle out, repair the crack then re-handle it maybe?

I agree with cam. I think you need to take the handle out glue the crack then put a new handle in.

They fixed one of mine like that, same as cam said. New handle, glued and extra security of a dowel.

Top guys.

Jon it can be fixed as stated with  glue  and mabe a dowl if it isn't the split will probably loosen the handle in the vee if it has not already done so

Easily fixed John, cut the handle out. Open up the crack, glue and fit a new handle. Job done.

Agree with Ryan normally happens becuse of poor handle so very wise to put a good handle on it
