An insulation-displacement terminal fitting is provided to prevent cracks and/or splits during the formation of V-shaped blades in the side walls (11A) of the insulation-displacement terminal fitting. To achieve this objective, slits (15) are formed along boundaries between a bottom wall (13) and side walls (11A) at least in the forming range of the blades (11B), and a bent portion (16) is formed in the bottom wall (13) in the area of the slits (15). The blades (11B) in the side walls (11A) and the bent portion (16) in the bottom wall (13) are formed substantially simultaneously. Thus, neither the blades (11B) nor the side walls (11A) undergo an extensional deformation since base ends (11Ba) of the blades (11B) are brought closer to each other in the side walls (11A) and base ends (16a) of the bent portion (16) are brought closer to each other in the bottom wall (13).
