Kris Hilt Removal

^ With this in mind, Ideally how hot do i want my oven to be when I use this hilt removal method? Not over 200 celsius I'm guessing?

What if the kris has copper/silver inlay? Do those metals have a lower melting point and do I risk 'melting' them out of the blade? (I ask because I have a maranao blade with silver inlay that's attatched to an indonesian golok hilt. How the two got together is a mystery to me. I may leave it as-it because it's interesting though. And I don't have a kris hilt handy to go with it)
