Why was Dervish Blade removed?

I was going through the "insert an item icon" feature on the boards and noticed there is an item called "Dervish Blade" there.

I seemingly cannot find it on any of the maps in the game, neither SR, TT, or ARAM.

It seems like a cool item and it gave another thing to build out of Quicksilver Sash.

So I'm just wondering, why was it removed?

Has Riot given an official statement as to why?

Thanks in advance.

It was the counterpart to Scimitar on Twisted Treeline because Scimitar's build path and cost didn't work out very well to build in that game mode. When they were changing around some of the items they fixed it so they just removed Dervish Blade and replaced it with the changed Scimitar.

Edit: It was because BF Sword was too expensive to save up for so they made a different item with a better build path that did the same thing as Scimitar
