How to repair?

Anyway, 1. Is this a type of knife? And 2. What's the best type of glue to repair it? It's a clean break and it did suffer a big chip, hence the difference in patina.

SUPER glue. Works every time! Wipe any excess off with solvent.

Can't imagine white glue would hold flint together very well.
Pottery and bone sure.
I probably should have used it on this one...oops.
Just kidding their not glued.
On a side note.. this is that same Putnam point base after soaking in mineral oil because I wanted to see the material under the white patina.
Those two pieces were found on the same site but several feet apart.
They are both agatized coral.
I thought there might be an off chance that ground water patinated one totally different than the other.

I use super glue gel. Dab it on and spread with a small cheap kids paint brush. Gel won't run like regular super glue.
