I use it from snow to the hard rocks in the desert..and on frozen ground, they take it all! (:

Like others, I haven't used TNF stakes you mentioned. It's tough to imagine a better stake for chewing through tough ground, though. I've used my fair share and these things are ridiculously strong for their size and weight. I use them in very rocky Colorado soil all the time - pounding on them with a rock as hard as I can and they tear into the ground like butter. Purchase these and you'll never be sorry.

I have these and love them as I've yet to bend, even after pounding into hard ground or hard ground frozen in winter. Can't say much about the TNF's V shape as I haven't used them.

Where frozen ground is concerned, the smaller profile the better. These stakes work better in rocky soil similar to how the NF's would work.
