The Roman

A long-range forearm-to-forearm clasp that begins with a standard grip but extends into a sturdy, battlefield-style hold along the lower arm. It says, “I trust you in commerce, conflict, and possibly a senate coup.” Strong, formal, and slightly theatrical, this greeting is best deployed when honouring a worthy bro, sealing a serious pact.

I have a proposition, although this is a strong greeting it was historically used to check if that person was concealing a knife. I think we should use this to greet people who we do not trust, signaling to other bros that this person may be concealing a proverbial knife.
