You notice that the front edge is tilted reverse-tanto style.
I wonder if it is ergonomically correct and is the use for scraping and prying as easy as when you have it the other way (tanto style) ?

Scraping stuff with the Razel works just fine. The “reverse-tanto” front edge just makes it so you pitch the knife forward a few degrees while scraping.

Ergonomics will depend more upon what direction you are scraping, which hand you are using, body/arm/hand position, etc. The knife, itself, works just fine.

Also, the blade stock is thick enough to do some pretty good prying as long as you make sure to stay off the edge when exerting force on things.

Here is a YouTube review of that knife if you want a closer look at it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAHk-zxiVf4.
