Purple Peeler is a weapon in Shadow Fight 3 unlocked during Chapter III. It is a type of Epic Iaido Katana and belongs to the Heralds faction. Purple Peeler has a moderate boost in critical damage and features 3 item slots which can be customized with applicable Perks and Special Moves. Just like all Iaido Katana, it carries the Windmill Shadow Ability. It is used by the Techno Samurai, one of Herald's best units, and Itu, on the future.
Purple Peeler can be bought from the shop for a determined amount of price. It can also be obtained as a random reward after winning any fight in Chapter III, by opening a Chest (better chests have higher chances), or by purchasing the Heralds Booster Pack. Players must reach level 7 before they can equip and use it.
Other variants include:
- Hermit Katana - Common Iaido Katana
- Classy Katana - Rare Iaido Katana
- Fate's End - Legendary Iaido Katana

Trivia[]
- Iaido is a form of Japanese martial art that is concerned with the smooth, controlled movements of drawing the sword from its scabbard, striking or cutting an opponent, removing blood from the blade, and then replacing the sword in the scabbard. The linear motion and force applied to draw the sword from the scabbard results in slashes that are faster and stronger than ones executed with the sword already drawn.
- The victory stance of Iaido katana is meant to represent "chiburi/chiburui", a precise blade movement done to remove blood off the katana after cutting an opponent.
