There's nothing civil about this war.
I use a DMT Aligner - https://www.amazon.com/DMT-ABG-Align.../dp/B00004WFUR
But these might prove useful as well - https://www.amazon.com/Wedgek-Angle-...APFEFYFPP&th=1
Thanks for the advice here. After a great deal of back and forth and thinking, referring back here often, I decided on the non Emerson, plain edge Delica for us both...our jean / denim skirt pockets aren’t great for a knife. I couldn’t find a pink handle for mine, but purple ain’t bad. She wanted hers in black.
It's a bit of a digression, but from time to time I think about picking up some discounted Wharncliffe Delicas and Plain-Edged Matriarchs, and relieving the engagement surface at the aft of the blade to a new angle of engagement, so that the tips are more in-line with the run of the handle; they'd be a bit more apt for FGEI\RGEI that way. While the Spyderco P'kal is still my go-to stash knife, and I've bought a modest number of them over the years; Delicas and Matriarchs are a little easier to source in the volumes required to outfit the others in my life with such a need.
ETA: Spydercos have done well in general for me, being carried open in sheaths, and are reasonably comfortable clipped AIWB though the extra blade material for the Spyderhole can occasionally be borderline; but oof Emersons are very thick and angular to wear in the same manner.

Guys - the Kahr Delica is the way to go if you want a wharncliffe-esque blade - https://www.spyderco.com/catalog/det...ca-4-Khaki/941
I have one in my pocket right now, here are pics in hand in effectively all four grips.
