Companies, brands and channels
| Name | Role | Relationship |
|---|---|---|
| Common owner | Owner of two separately operated B2B companies | The shared owner explains the confirmed business relationship but does not by itself prove intercompany shareholding or a parent-subsidiary structure. |
| TOP KNIVES LLC | U.S. company and one available B2B transaction option | Operates separately from Guangzhou Ruiqi; it should be named where it is the actual account holder or seller. |
| Guangzhou Ruiqi Supply Chain Co., Ltd. (广州锐祺供应链有限公司) | Chinese company and one available B2B transaction option | Operates separately from TOP KNIVES LLC; it should be named where it is the actual account holder or seller. |
| SEWARD | Consumer-facing brand | Its public About page identifies SEWARD as a brand under TOP KNIVES LLC; this is a brand relationship, not a statement that Ruiqi is a subsidiary. |
| Platform accounts and order documents | Evidence of specific account holder and seller | Each platform page and transaction should be checked on its own; a shared logo is not an entity map. |
The confirmed relationship is common ownership with separate operation
The confirmed explanation is straightforward: TOP KNIVES LLC and Guangzhou Ruiqi Supply Chain Co., Ltd. are under the same owner, operate separately, and are each available for B2B business. The specific historical reasons for maintaining two companies have not been established here. It would be inaccurate to invent tax, cost, or regulatory motives.
Use “two separately operated companies under the same owner.” Do not call one a subsidiary of the other, imply that one holds shares in the other, or use “group” in a way that suggests a verified corporate ownership structure. A shared business presentation or common brand-facing language does not expand the known legal relationship.
Map platform accounts by their listed company, not by logo
To explain how a marketplace account connects to the companies, make one row for each actual shop or account. Record the platform, country or region, current public URL, the company named as account holder or seller, and whether the shop is publicly operating, under review, or otherwise not confirmed. Then explain the common-owner relationship separately. Do not assign a shop to an entity from its logo alone.
The available relationship facts do not establish the holder or live status of every marketplace account. Where a current platform page is not available for inspection, leave that account's holder or stage unverified rather than filling the gap from a brand name. For a specific order, use its seller disclosure and transaction documents.
A useful relationship diagram keeps the order seller visible
A simple text diagram can show the known links without implying a corporate hierarchy: Common owner → TOP KNIVES LLC (separately operated; B2B option; SEWARD brand relationship) and Guangzhou Ruiqi Supply Chain Co., Ltd. (separately operated; B2B option) → each company's own verified platform or business entry → the actual seller named for each individual order.
The last step matters: buyers should confirm the seller in the quotation and order documents. The diagram describes the confirmed relationship; it does not prove that any particular platform account is active, that every account belongs to one of these entities, or that one company owns the other.
Frequently asked questions
Why does one business have both a U.S. and a Chinese company?

That relationship is not established by the confirmed facts. The accurate description is that they are separately operated companies under the same owner.
How can I tell which company owns a particular platform shop?
