Just bought a paramilitary 2 and I'm concerned it's fake (pic heavy)!

This is totally fake. Why people continue to buy from ebay is beyond me. Buy from reputable knife dealers and you will not have this problem.

Mine is not a fake, it is a new S110V. It does have that small "sharpening choil". However, the scales on yours are the wrong color, so unless the previous owner replaced them with custom scales, this is a red flag. Also, the scales are not contoured properly for a factory PM2. The lanyard tube is wrong for a PM2, as well.

I have a bunch of Para 2s and none of them have that choil.

Here's an M4, an S30v and an S110v. No choils.
Also have an XHP, no choil.
