Done it a bit and found it a bit messy. Thing is I like to keep my anvil face hot so forging goes faster, and I don't like to have to take the extra time and handle swapping it requires to keep the "dance steps" in sync.
I found that just lowering your forge heat a little as you get closer to finish just above the bottom range of forgable heat will greatly reduce the amount and thickness of scale on the blade (provided you keep your anvil hot). Good wire brushing after a vinegar soak will remove pretty much all the remaining fine scale.
Good rule of thumb is to look at the scale flakes around and on you anvil. If they are around 1/8" or bigger, you are forging at way to high a temperature. That's ok when reducing stock to knife like dimensions. When things start looking like a knife blade and you are working on finishing in your bevels,distal tapers and flats the scale should look like dust and there should be very little.
