As the title asks can i heat these up without destroying them? I need to use them to tempe straighten a blade and it will require clamping a blade straight in an oven at around 450.
 
I got impatient and tried it out seemed to have no ill effect i think if anything i just annealed the copper bits, ill keep the 2 i used aside specific for the task just incase so i dont ruin them all. Thats awesome i might be making some more but out of a different steel and using 1/4" thick stock.
