T. Ikawa obtained the following differential equation $$D_TD_TD_TT-KD_TT, \quad K = \kappa^2-\tau^2$$ for the circular helix which corresponds the case when the curvature $\kappa$ and torsion $\tau$ of space-like curve with a space-like binormal $\alpha$ on the Lorentzian manifold $M_1$ are constant [{\it T. Ikawa}, Tsukuba J. Math. 9, 353--371 (1985; Zbl 0588.53017)]. In this paper, we define a slant helix with the help of the Bishop frame of the space-like curve with a space-like binormal. Furthermore, we give some necessary and sufficient conditions for the slant helix and T. Ikawa's result is generalized to the case of the general slant helix.
