As Jock says, it's hard to determine the cause for sure from the pic, but it looks like it may, unusually, have started from the trailing edge of the blade, and have been started off by some damage to the rear face of the blade, near the trailing edge.

We all check the leading edge of blades for chips, but perhaps we don't pay as much attention to the rear face of the blade as we should?
