[[https://www.youtube.com/user/SkallagrimNilsson Björn Kronisch]] (born June 16, 1982), otherwise known as '''Skallagrim''', '''Skallagrim Nilsson''', or affectionately as '''Skall''', is a [=YouTube=]-based personality with, in his own words, "a camera and a passion for swords, knives, firearms and other weapons / tools, as well as gaming and other random stuff." He also demonstrates basic self-defense techniques.

* HandyCuffs: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgYHfU4aXh0 Here]], Skall offers some ideas on how to defend yourself if you're ever handcuffed (as a result of a hostage situation or kidnapping; ''not'' against law enforcement officials).
** KinkyCuffs: Very briefly [[DiscussedTrope discussed]] at the end of that video (likely in anticipation of jokesters in the comments):
-->'''Skallagrim:''' Don't ask why Cara and I have such massive handcuffs. You don't wanna know.

* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: If his commenters know his real name, no one seems to address him as such.

* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: "I was born in Europe, but you don't need to know where because it doesn't matter." It's somewhere in Northern Germany, though.

Of these, Skall focuses primarily on bladed weapons, offering reviews, demonstrations and testing, myth debunking, and critiques of fantasy weapons; as a practitioner of Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA), he usually knows what he's talking about when it comes to these weapons, though he'd also be the first to tell you that he's far from an expert.

* KnifeNut: Defied. While Skall doesn't hide his enthusiasm for bladed weapons, he stresses that he supports safe, responsible weapon collecting and takes issue with the notion that anyone who shares his hobby his necessarily a murderous, unhinged individual. He also doesn't like the mentality that fighting or warfare is somehow [[BloodKnight glorious or honorable.]]

* LampshadedDoubleEntendre: With so much talk of "thrusting" and "penetration" going on, Skall is generally good about heading off the obvious jokes before commenters can, if only out of necessity.
