I can use my thumb and push against the wave to open it as I would the thumbstud. I would call it one handed opening.
 
If anything remove the thumb disk and crank down the pivot so it forces you to use two hands to open it.
 
There are often no hard and fast answers to these types of questions, as it may depend upon the subjectivity of the Po-Po, prosecutor, judge and jury. Since every scenario cannot be legislated, the laws must be applied to the facts and this entails fallible, subjective humans. So beware if someone gives you an objective answer to a subjective question. Rock on!
 
Thanks guys, I'm going to have the knife both dewaved and the thumbdisk taken off. I think everything should be fine at that point.
 
The codified laws really do make it difficult to feel confident you are being legal. I read an article where a man was charged for illegal knife carry simply because the cop knew how to perform an inertial opening. Called it a "gravity knife."

I can open just about any knife this way, but let me say, perfecting this technique takes a really long time and tons of practice. Point of this is double: obviously my example is an extreme scenario but it is eye opening. Dirty trick on the cops part. Hardly fair at all.

Secondly, could it mean trouble for me at some point because i performed an inertial opening on my Case slipjoint?

Old saying applies true as ever:
Criminals dont care about weapons laws.
