Two companies share an owner and remain separately operated
TOP KNIVES LLC and Guangzhou Ruiqi Supply Chain Co., Ltd. are not the same legal company. TOP KNIVES LLC is the U.S. company; Guangzhou Ruiqi Supply Chain Co., Ltd. is the Chinese company. The confirmed relationship is that they are separately operated under the same owner. The Chinese company name is 广州锐祺供应链有限公司. This description answers the relationship question without assigning either company a corporate position that has not been established.
A common owner alone does not establish that one company owns shares in the other, that one is a parent and the other a subsidiary, or that either guarantees the other's obligations. TOP KNIVES therefore describes the two entities as related through common ownership and separate operations. A buyer should use the full company name shown on the documents for the transaction being considered.
A shared website or contact does not identify the seller for every order
The top-knives.com website serves as a company and service information entry point. Its Catalog navigation links to otfknifewholesale.com, which presents the wholesale catalog and supports product selection and inquiries. These connected entries help buyers move between company information and product discovery. They do not turn the two companies into one legal entity or make every inquiry a transaction with the same seller.
A shared contact person also does not change the identity of either company. When an inquiry moves from discussion to a formal quotation or order, the buyer should check the company’s complete legal name on the document and confirm that the person signing is authorized for that company. The transaction documents should make clear which company is the seller and how payment, invoicing, and fulfillment are arranged for that particular order. A website footer, email signature, or shared contact can provide context, but should not replace the order documents.
Both companies can be considered for B2B business
TOP KNIVES LLC and Guangzhou Ruiqi Supply Chain Co., Ltd. are both available options for B2B business. A buyer may begin on the TOP KNIVES company website or use the OTF wholesale catalog to identify products and send an inquiry. After the requirements are understood, the parties can identify which company will issue the formal quotation and serve as the seller for the order. The selected company should appear clearly in the relevant commercial documents.
An inquiry received through a Chinese contact or through the OTF catalog can still lead to a quotation or contract from TOP KNIVES LLC if that is the company selected for the transaction. Likewise, a U.S.-based buyer who discovers products through OTF may choose Guangzhou Ruiqi Supply Chain Co., Ltd. as the seller. The route by which a buyer first found the product does not by itself decide the contracting company. Each order needs its own clear company identification and agreed transaction terms.
Confirm the company and terms in the order documents
For a practical check, compare the legal name in the quotation, contract, invoice, payment instructions, and other order records. Confirm that these documents describe the same agreed transaction and identify the relevant company in each role. Payment recipient, invoicing entity, and fulfillment arrangements should be confirmed for the particular order rather than inferred from common ownership. If any document names a different company, ask the supplier to explain and document that arrangement before proceeding.
This process keeps the company relationship distinct from the mechanics of a specific purchase. TOP KNIVES can introduce its business through shared information and catalog channels, while the buyer and seller record the actual company and terms for the order. Public company pages explain the business context; the signed or otherwise agreed transaction documents identify the parties and commitments for that purchase.
