Backpacking or just camping? If just camping bring two knives, one big and one small. I find that it's a real pleasure to have a very large, heavy knife when camping. You don't get to use knives like that every day and you can use them to their fullest in a camp setting, especially if you're into bushcrafty stuff. Or think about a camp axe and smaller knife combo. Beyond the scope of your question but I'd like to have a... Condor camp axe and Mora companion or ESEE Izula PLUS a good multitool... for camping.
I just bought this axe, i really like it. It feels nice in my hands and it looks beautiful, best of all it doesn't have gransfors bruks price tag.

I have this hatchet which I got for wood working, but I'd take it camping too.
It's only 1.5 lbs, and pretty short so it'd do well in a backpack.
Since you're not supposed to cut down trees in the boundary waters anyways, a small axe/hatchet like this will do fine for splitting and chopping the downed wood you find.
A good axe handle has different properties than a good saw whatever. The thing were you put the sawblade in is probably not very comfortable to grip. The axe blade makes the saw unnecessarily unbalanced and heavy. Speaking of imbalance, all that stuff would make it difficult to properly balance either the saw or the axe, not to speak of both at the same time. The saw blade might not be a standard size and thus hard/expensive to replace. In a car or similar, most places where you could store this could also hold a hatched and a saw of that size. This axe has roughly similar dimensions at half the weight, so it's not great at optimizing carrying weight on foot either, even if you bring a saw as well. If you bring two separate tools, you can hand one to your buddy and you can work at the same time.
'Poorly' might not be the best term, it's more of a 'could be better' situation.
