Stabbing would be considered deadly force, so it would fall under the same rules. I think a baseball bat might too if it isn't a 100 lb woman swinging the bat. Same would go for golf clubs probably. The standard used in Maryland is "deadly force." A person cannot use deadly force unless deadly force is being used against them, with the exception of the person's home.
