No, it was made for cutting throats covertly (and winning the knife fight if you were spotted), not charging trenches.

The US had a very similar knife, the Gerber MK2, which never got adopted by the army but soldiers were buying on their own for the same reasons, namely it's an ideal fighting knife design. Pictured here with it is Vietnam War legend Jerry Shriver.
