Displaying sword/preventing rust.

[martyd]

Hi all, new owner of a shin gunto.

I like to display the sword just out of its saya like in picture.

I don't trust what's inside of saya wood liner looks a bit manky...

I'm currently oiling once a week, I'm a bit paranoid that I'm going to end up damaging the blade leaving it open to elements and oiling once a week... Is there a more hard wearing protection I can put on the sword such as renaissance wax? Seems some say it's fine on some blades but perhaps not Japanese ones? Thanks.

Also can someone confirm what type of hada this is please? Thank you.
