Knock-down argument/proof against universal skepticism:

U: Universal skepticism: For any assertion P, we don't know if P is true or false.

Proof: The assertion U: "For any assertion P, we don't know if P is true or false" is either true or false. If it's true, we know at least that one assertion is true (U itself) therefore it's false. QED.
