While the conventional answer is "epoxy", try dripping some Titebond
III onto a piece of your bandsaw blade and letting it dry. Make sure
the blade is clean and oil-free first. If it sticks to your blade
like it sticks to my clamps I think you'll find it quite sufficient.

response to variations of temperature and of humidity. No rigid glue
will long hold. You'll need some rivets, like the handles on knives.
And that's where I'd look - there are lots of suppliers of
knife-making raw materials.

I need to glue pieces of a bandsaw blade into thin slots in mahogany.
I understand your valid questions. The metal is a 1/2" wide 12 tooth per inch bandsaw blade. Pieces of the blade, approximately 1 1/2 inches long are embedded about 1/4 inch deep cross-grain...

For short lengths, wood expansion ought not to be a big problem; I'd poke some polyurethane
(Gorilla Glue of the classic type) into the slot, wipe glue on the steel blade, then mist with water
to start the cure, and insert the blade. The foam-up will fill voids, and it doesn't soak
into the endgrain of the wood like a water-based adhesive might. Even just some
plaster of paris would probably work.
The thin kerf that you'd want to insert the blade into, won't allow a thick glue to flow well,
and most water-based types are suboptimal in contact with water-thirsty endgrain.
Mahogany is somewhat resinous, test the glue on scraps to be sure; sometimes resin interferes
with paint or glue chemistry

It occurred to me that small wedges (splines?) might work well. One
could even cut the metal to somehow accept the spline. Glue the wood splines in place and it should last forever. If there is not enough
wood present, add more! ; )

BobEpoxy is magic! ;-)
When I was building Soap Box Derby cars we used gallons of it.
In the image below, the fillets (flairs) where the axles enter the body were made from West System 205/105 epoxy mix and the 407 filler.
The entire body was built to be 3/8" below the minimum girth allowed and then wrapped in 3 layers of fiberglass mat and 205/105 epoxy to bring it back
up to the minimum spec. It was then baked in a black trailer in the 90° heat for
3 days to achieve maximum hardness. No amount of rough track is going to twist the body and temperature/humidity changes will have virtually no impact.
Yes, my son is in the car. ;-)

A trick we used to use is to spread some Vaseline on any area where you don't
want the epoxy to stick. That way you can build up areas and not have to be exact.
e.g. if you want to bury a nut into a recess, put Vaseline on the bolt, put it in the
threads and just pour your epoxy over the nut. Once it cures, just unscrew the
bolt and you'll have a hole that leads down into the threads.
