Abstract

A slider for slide fastener includes: a slider body including an upper blade and a lower blade which are separate from and face each other in an upward and downward direction, and a guide post which connects the upper blade and the lower blade on a front end side; and a pull tab which is attached to the slider body. A cutout region is formed in at least one of both sides in a width direction of the upper blade, the both sides in the width direction sandwiching the guide post. The cutout region is formed of a side edge portion extending toward an outer side in the width direction of the guide post and being arranged along a front and rear direction, and a front edge portion.
