Here is Ian Bottomley's recommended method for treating rust on Japanese armor, you can do something similar with the nakago of your sword,

Use a mixture of boiled linseed oil thinned with white spirit in a ratio of approximately 50 / 50 - it isn't critical. The mixture was applied with a paint brush over a small area and allowed to soak in for a few minutes before rubbing the area with a chisel shaped piece of stag antler.
