I would not put any edged weapon in a 392f oven .

This whole idea scares the daylights out of me .

Much safer, IMO, to apply heat to the base of the blade where temper/hardness is not as important .

No torches !!

^ Would a hair dryer be enough to loosen the pitch or would a heat gun be needed?

You could try applying a large copper soldering iron against it as the heat would be lower and possibly enough would flow off to warm the resin. It would have to be applied several times but it would be under control.
