I did repair one of those short bladed mongooses with a cracked handle. I used gorilla glue in the crack. then I coated extra handle binding in the same glue and extended the  binding about an inch below the crack. It worked and is still going. To be fair to the lad a cracked toe happens as does a broken handle.
 Better to re-handle it though

No, by 'experienced' I meant older than 21 and a little less lithe than you would like to be.

Haha, can this please win an award as most diplomatic post of the year?

I pva glued, re-bound, fibre taped and then applied an epoxy putty to cover a 2 inch area around that part of the handle to prevent any flex. Shaped it to suit the bottom hand. Its a season old and still holding. Hes a tailender and hardly nets, but he belted some boundaries with it. Ive told him to get it rehandled but hes a tightarse.
