I have this broken spear. Clean break. What the best way to repair? 2 part epoxy or JB weld? any suggestions?

Maybe both? A 2 part epoxy for the broken joint, clear to reduce visible repair. Then once that's cured, lay it face down and layer some JB Weld on the back side, kinda like a bandaid. There's a nice recess on the back side where you could actual smear a couple of thin layers to give the crack repair some stabilizing/rigidity.
