Hi guys, asking for your expert advice. How can I most effectively fix this crack without risk of damaging the Saya and the Katana inside. Thanks!

I came across one that I liked by Dewa Daijo Kunmichi. What do you guys think? Any comments/suggestions are warmly welcomed. Thanks. What's a reasonable price for this piece?
