Possibly; the metal in the one experiment was bad idea for starters.

If you can make the surfaces adequately flat for a good glue joint you
could add glue surface by also make a saw kerf and fit a spline
vertically although a good joint should hold--a good glue joint is as
strong as the surrounding wood.

I'd use the Titebond Type III waterproof glue since a hoe is used
outside but not expected to be subjected to immersion.

In testing it has more strength than the resorcinals ("Gorilla" glue
types) by a significant margin.
